Here’s one of our favorite fast and hearty weeknight meals.
We love us some kale in this house, and what a powerhouse of a food it is. It’s got tons of Vitamin A, plenty of C, fiber, protein, iron, calcium…and it works perfectly in this dinner Mike and I make about once a week.
Kale & “Sausage”
- 2 vegetarian sausage links (such as Tofurky Italian Sausage), sliced (like coins)
- 1 small-to-medium-size onion
- 1 large bunch of kale, rinsed, pulled from stem, and torn into pieces
- Red pepper flakes
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 T olive oil
- (Optional: We serve this over brown rice.)
Heat olive oil in a skillet on medium heat. Thinly slice onion and add it to the oil with about 1/4c water. Cover and let onion cook, stirring frequently. When onion is transparent but not browned, add sausage. Allow sausage to heat through, then add kale. Cover skillet to allow kale to wilt a bit–just a minute or two. Sprinkle red pepper flakes to taste, then salt and pepper. Serve over brown rice. Yum!
