Kale

If you buy a lot of kale and then end up being in a spinach smoothie mood all week try this:

Sauteed Kale

1 big bag of Kale, washed, big stems removed
1 sweet onion chopped
oil to coat pan, 3 Tbls?

Heat oil in a very large pan over medium high heat. Add onions and cook until they barely start to turn golden. Add kale in about thirds so it can wilt a little and fit in the pan. Cook for about five minutes until it is wilted but still has a nice bite. Salt and pepper to taste, a little red wine vinegar is also good.

You could also add garlic but the kids sometimes complain so I left it out. You can chop the kale but I just tore mine into pieces when I took off the big stems.

We had this last night with Mayacoba beans and cornbread, healthy southern cooking at it's best.
