Asian Sauteed Kale

Getting my son to eat his greens requires an act of a God.

And when I say God, I mean Soy Sauce.


RJ:  Mom, can I be Asian?

Me: No

RJ:  Can I be half Asian?

Me:  No

RJ:  Not even a little bit Asian?

Me:  No

RJ:  Can we have Chinese for dinner then?

Me:  No.  I have no money.

RJ:  Fine, can we go out for Mexican then? Because that's your favorite.

Me:  No.  I still have no money.

RJ:  We can't go to ANY restaurants?

Me:  No.  No money = no restaurants.

RJ:  Fine.  What are you cooking then?  Can we have Soy Sauce? 

And then the clouds parted.

And unicorns jumped over the rainbow.

And Soy Sauce met kale.

And it was love at first sight.

And RJ ate his greens!!!!!!


Asian Sauteed Kale

2-3 side servings

 8 cups of kale, pulled off the stem and chopped
2-4 garlic cloves, diced or thin sliced
2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 Tablespoon butter, whatever brand is safe for you
1 Tablespoon soy sauce
Salt/Pepper (to taste)



Instructions


* Start with a large pan.  This is important because you'll need to load the pan to get enough wilted greens.

* Heat your saute pan on medium with the olive oil, butter, and soy sauce.

* Add Garlic. WARNING:  Garlic burns quickly so be careful!

* Immediately add the kale and salt/pepper.

 
* Saute while stirring constantly and voila! you have kale that even an eight year old will eat!!!  I imagine this will work with aparagus, spinich, maybe even brussel sprouts.  YUM!!!!

  
ENJOY!!!  ♥♥♥
