the other day i bought a HUGE bunch of kale from the grocery store, and i finally cooked with it tonight - we still have about 3/4 of the bunch left! i'm thinking about making some kale salad and kale chips........ but that's a story for another day.
i worked at a pretty fancy restaurant for awhile and the chef there made this delicious kale dish, which was my first introduction to one of my now favorite vegetables! the base of the dish is comprised of: blanched kale that has been cut into manageable pieces, great northern white beans, LOTS of fresh chopped garlic, and salt and pepper, all sauteed in a little olive oil. then there are the variables: you can add cooked bacon bits (YUM), cooked summer squash, grape tomatoes, or anything else you think might taste good. tonight i added the grape tomatoes. i can't praise this dish enough - i love it!!
i made some oven roasted sweet potatoes to go with it, as well as grilled chicken breast. all in all, it was a healthy and absolutely delicious meal!
