Really simple and full of flavor. I'm always overloaded with kale, and I'm greatful you shared the recipe! We ate it over rice, as Enjolinfam suggested.

The flavors of this were FANTASTIC! My family loved it, but then we love most peanut sauces. It was thicker and a smaller amount than I had thought it would be, but mixed with some rice it was the perfect amount for my family of four. I definetely reccomend eating this with rice, because even though the flavors are terrific they can be strong and just right with some rice. We WILL have this again. Thanks!

I love this recipe with couscous as the recipe suggests! I *had many Moosewood cookbooks, until recently when I moved and many of my things disappeared en route. I'm SO grateful that most of the recipes I've since looked for are available on line; Thank you, @PinkCherryBlossom!

this is from the moosewood restaurant cooks at home cookbook which recommends serving it with rice/millet/couscous and tooping with peanuts and scallions. mooswood puts out some great cookbooks and i highly recommend picking them up, i have several (great vegetarian and some fish recipes).
