SO HOW'D IT GO?
I was really excited to make this for lunch... until I realized that there was a bag of parsley in the fridge, not kale. :'(
So instead this is what I did:
1 small Sweet Onion
1 small bunch of Green Onions
1/2 TBS. Canola Oil
1/2 small bag of Spinach
2 small Zucchini
Peanut Sauce (according to original recipe using half as much Braggs and minus Coriander because I don't like it)
Mirin
Rice Vinegar
White Miso (about the size of a pea)
Garlic Powder instead of the clove
Black Pepper
Water to thin sauce
1 Bunch Somen noodles
Saute both onions in cast iron pan with oil, when done transfer to a bowl. Wilt Spinach & add to onions in the bowl. Quarter (lengthwise) zucchini and slice really thinly and 'dry saute' in very hot cast iron pan, sprinkling on a little bit of salt, stirring constantly. Transfer to onion/spinach bowl immediately after cooking until slightly softened, but not mushy. Boil water & cook noodles (3 minutes), and mix up sauce. Drain noodles, combine & eat!
This was really good but honestly didn't need the noodles at all, but a great alternative to PB&J! I'm really picky about how the zucchini (and other summer squashes) are cooked because if they are mushy/slimy I can't eat them, the texture is just too gross. Looking forward to trying this once we have some kale, I'm sure my hubby will want to make a version for himself!
I only had a tablespoon of peanut butter left, but I still wanted to make this recipe, so for the three remaining tablespoons I used pumpkin seed butter... and it was still scrumptious! I think I will be experimenting with different nut/seed butters and this recipe in the future.
thank you very much :)>>>
That's how I've had it lately!! YUMMMMMMM!!!
Thanks again!!!
Hey, question from a cooking n00b!
Are you supposed to chop up the garlic clove, or just stick it in there whole? That's probably a dumb question. I know how to crack and peel the clove.
Thanks.
I minced my garlic clove

Oh So Scrumptious!!!! I don't like P-nut butter, so I used tahini, and increased the garlic. Opps, I ate the whole pot! I did share some with my dogs. Their crazy for Kale too. :D
this is absolutely my fav kale recipe...almond butter works well with this too. if possible, I think it's even better cold the next day.
I really liked the flavor of this. I upped the spices a bit and added a teaspoon or so of finely grated fresh ginger, which I think complemented the other flavors well. Also, you may need to add more water than specified. I found the kale to be a bit "chewy," even after cooking it for a fairly long time. (I used the curly green kind of kale with purplish veins in the leaves.) Any suggestions from kale lovers of the world?
