Stir Fried Kale

This recipe is a super nutritious side dish to almost any meal. Kale is a mighty healthy form of cabbage that's high in Anti-Oxidants, Vitamin C and Calcium, amongst other things. I've finally found this curly, leafy vegetable at the Health Food store, Avril, down by the 10/30 in Brossard. I've paired up this dish with chopped Garlic Stem and Ginger.

Kale

Garlic Stem

Ingredients:

• 2 bunches of Kale, De-Stemed, coarsely chopped
• 1 inch piece of Ginger, chopped
• 2 Garlic Stems, chopped
• 1Tbsp sesame Oil

Get Started!

• PREP: Wash the Kale, remove the stems as you would Spinach stems, (hold down the leaves in one hand, and rip off the stems with the other hand).
• Coarsely chop the Kale, you may cut them into big pieces as they will wilt once cooked.
• First slice the Garlic Stems, as they are very long. Then chop them. Chop the ginger.
• Heat non-stick pan on MED heat. Add the oil, kale, ginger and garlic stem.
• Stir-Fry, until Kale is Tender, yet still a bit crunchy (taste it), It's OK that it gets a bit golden from the stir fry.
• Note: If you do not have Garlic Stem (found in Asian stores), you may use a clove of garlic instead.
