 Kale is that overachieving friend who is just good at e v e r y t h i n g. You know the type :). We discussed (Going Green, 9/6/20) how kale supports your body’s natural ability to produce digestive enzymes, as well as load you up with folate, calcium, antioxidants, vitamin K and polyphenols. It is clearly one of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet🏅. Cook it up with some chickpeas for a plant-based protein, along with additional vitamins, minerals and fiber. INGREDIENTS
1 pound kale, washed, stems removed, chopped into bite-size pieces ~608 mg calcium 2 Tablespoons olive oil 3 cloves garlic, sliced thin 1 cup chopped onion 1/4 cup tomato paste 1 teaspoon coriander 1 15-ounce can no-salt-added chickpeas, rinsed and drained ~ 157 mg calcium Freshly ground black pepper and salt, to taste PREPARATION Place cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil, garlic and onion. Sauté until browned, about 5–7 minutes. Stir in tomato paste, coriander and kale. As kale begins to wilt, about 4–5 minutes, stir in chickpeas. Reduce heat to low and simmer about 3–4 minutes. Remove from heat. Add black pepper and salt to taste. Place in serving dish. Makes 4 side-dish servings or 2 lunch/dinner servings. Approximately 765 mg of calcium. |
