Steam Saute' Kale
In just 12 minutes I had this delectable vegetable ready to serve. We were surprised that the Kale does not cook down like spinach or chard but rather retains a bit of its shape and texture. Flavored with bacon, shallots, garlic and chicken broth we were very pleased with the results. In fact, today Sparky went out and bought seeds to start for his garden!
Servings: 4 servings

Instructions
- Bought this bag of pre-washed and chopped Kale

- Once in a while it does a body good to step out of our comfort zones and try something new. You just might find something else good to add to your life. I know I did!
