St. Patrick's Day Greens

Mixed Kale

I am a huge fan of Kale. It is by far my favourite green leaf and it's so nutrient dense. At the moment there is a great selection of green kale, purple kale and black kale available in various grocery stores; Planet Organic has a fabulous selection.  I made this braised kale to go with bison burgers and any leftover kale is great with morning eggs.

Braised Kale

  • 2 large bunches of kale
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1/3 cup chicken stock
  • lemon wedge
  • salt and pepper
  • pine nuts (optional)
  1. Wash and tear kale from the stems and set aside.
  2. Add garlic and coconut oil to a large pot and cook for a minute over medium heat. Add to this the washed kale leaves and chicken stock. Cover and cook until the kale is tender.
  3. Remove from the heat and squeeze a lemon wedge over the kale and season with salt and pepper. If you have pine nuts toast a few in a small fry pan and toss on the kale when it's finished cooking.


Happy St. Partick's Day everyone!
