washed kaleJames cooked a very tasty variation on this recipe the other evening. (He added some boiled sausage .. )

So I ended up with quite a bit of kale..

Kale is incredibly healthy and packed full of nutrients. Some people call it a “super food”, but it wasn’t something that I was that familiar with until recently. (Spot a trend? Yes – I’m learning about food!)

Last night I wanted to cook something using kale and as many vegetables as possible. I ended up doing a bit of an experiment with what I had in the kitchen:

  • shallots
  • garlic (not crushed – whole)
  • kale – plenty of it
  • mushrooms
  • red pepper
  • courgette
  • carrot
  • chicken breast (I had some in the freezer)
  • a couple of slivers of ginger
  • dash of wine
  • vegetable stock made from a stock cube and hot water ie. not homemade because I don’t know how!
  • herbs – both fresh from my mini-garden and dried

Kale dinner cooking

Once the stock was added I just let it cook away for about another 20 to 30 minutes until the kale reduced down which led to this:

Kale with vegetables and chicken

I’ve no idea what you’d call this, but it was very tasty 🙂

I’ve also got no idea about the calories etc., but it’s basically loads of vegetables with chicken breast, so it’s probably quite healthy..
