Kale With Garlic, Beans and Olives

"This is based on a recipe from "Wild About Greens" by Nava Atlas. The combination of garlic, vinegar and olives makes a delicious sauce for the kale. I made some changes to the recipe so it worked better with my Nutritarian eating style. You can reduce prep time by using pre-chopped or frozen kale and jarred garlic."

directions

  • Remove the center stem from the kale and discard. Wash and chop kale leaves and set aside. If you don't know how to remove the stems from kale, Google: remove kale stems.
  • Chop garlic and mushrooms and set aside.
  • Combine beans, olives and vinegar and set aside.
  • Coat large covered non-stick frying pan or Dutch oven (at least 5 quarts) with oil. Add the garlic and mushrooms and sauté over low heat for 1 minute, adding small amount of water if needed to prevent sticking.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

In 2011, I saw a PBS Special, 3 Steps to Incredible Health by Dr. Joel Fuhrman. It inspired me to change to a Nutritarian cooking style, which focuses on the nutrient density of the foods you eat. Since that time, I have been collecting recipes. I have found a few recipes ready to go but most of them were either too complicated for everyday use or needed some changes to fit with this eating style.
