I love blogging about food and recipes. What makes me smile even more is when I get responses to the blog with new recipes that others have enjoyed. Brian and I worked together here in NY - I saw something outstanding in Brian from the day we worked together. Brian has since been promoted to management out in La Jolla and Hawaii - how lucky is he!! He shared this very healthy recipe with me that came from his trainer at his gym. Kale is one of the most healthy veggies we can eat. It is packed with vitamin A, C, potassium and lutein. It also has zeaxathan, which can help reduce certain cancers and help with our eyesight. I changed the recipe slightly by adding Red Pepper instead of Green Pepper - the Red Pepper adds nice color to the dish and I also added the Chicken Stock. Here is the recipe - try to buy organic veggies if you can.
1) Bunch of Fresh Kale (washed real well) torn up
2) 1 small yellow onion - chopped up
3) 2 sticks of Celery - chopped up
4) 1 half Red Pepper - chopped up
5) lemon pepper - a sprinkle
6) few drops of chicken stock
7) 3 tablespoons of EVO (olive oil)
Saute your onion, celery and red pepper until lightly browned in the EVO
add your Kale (tear up in small pieces)
add a splash of chicken stock or broth just to coat all in pan
sprinkle with lemon pepper
cover and let cook up for maybe 15 minutes - stir around every so often.
This is an excellent side dish or Brian tells me he even adds some grilled chicken and serves his over brown rice. How healthy is this after a long day and working out?? I did not add the chicken but had mine as a side dish. It was wonderful! Thanks Brian for sharing - this will now be a staple in Linda's Kitchen!
