For the love of kale!

Nichole, one of the awesome members of the OSF CSA, sent us this recipe. Thanks Nichole!!

1 bunch of kale
½ lb pasta (skinny rice noodles, thin whole wheat spaghetti or whatever you have)

sauce:
4 Tablespoons peanut butter (thick or crunchy all natural kind is best)
4 Tablespoons sweet chili sauce
3 Tablespoons tamari
A splash of water

Remove stems from kale and chop into bite-sized pieces. Rinse, but do not dry leaves. Wilt kale until tender in a hot frying pan. No oil or additional water is needed if the kale is wet from rinsing. It may take several batches depending on the size of your frying pan.

Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and toss with kale in a large bowl.

Gently heat sauce ingredients in the frying pan until smooth and warm. Add to pasta and kale and toss again.

This dish is even yummier when eaten with chopsticks! (I’m sort of kidding, but somehow that’s the only way I like to eat it...)

Sometimes I add leftover chicken or sausage (if so I make extra sauce), but this dish is totally satisfying by itself.

We tried this the other night and it was awesome. As Wavy demonstrates, finger lickin good!!
