i have a confession to make. i'm not really into kale. i think it's from being a kid -- my family used to get csa boxes and the winters were these total kale invasions in the kitchen and i got really kaled out. a friend gave me a bunch of kale this week and it's just been sitting there calling to me to cook it ... so it's time to overcome my kale fears and make something i like with it.
i decided to make a kale pasta sauce. for this dish you'll need:
1 bunch of organic kale
1 organic carrot, shredded
1 organic onion, chopped
1 can organic pasta sauce
organic olive oil
spices (organic dried basil and oregano)
salt
peper
1 bunch of organic kale
1 organic carrot, shredded
1 organic onion, chopped
1 can organic pasta sauce
organic olive oil
spices (organic dried basil and oregano)
salt
peper
first i sauteed my onion in some olive oil until they were starting to look clear. then i added my shredded carrot and kale and sauteed for another 5 minutes.
then i added my pasta sauce, spices, salt and pepper. then i covered the pot and cooked it for about an hour at low heat until it was thick and fragrant.
i topped some organic spiral noodles with the sauce and added a handful of sharp cheese. it was super good and i was so excited! mission accomplished! kale and i are now friends! anyone have any other kale recipes they can suggest to me? i would love to hear them :)
happy friday!
kisses,

sauted kale with a fried egg is great in the morning (maybe on top of some grits). Or its great in soup. I cook kale the same as I cook other greens.
ReplyDeleteLooks good!
This is the best soup I have ever tasted...EVER. I didn't know I loved kale until this soup!

I just had to come and say, I love your photos! Very nice.
ReplyDeleteI love kale on its own, but this sauce sounds soooo good! Have you ever tried coating them with some olive oil and salt and baking them into kale chips? Such a treat!
