Kale stir-fry

Vegetable stir-fry

Kale stir-fry

 The vivid colors in this kale stir-fry provide both eye appeal and nutritional value.

Kale is high in fiber, iron, anti-oxidants and vitamins, especially K and A, and has anti-inflammatory properties. Fresh ginger is an absolute must in this recipe – it softens the distinctive flavor of kale, which can be quite overpowering. This easy side dish pairs well with bredies (stews), such as Tomato bredie, page 64 in our book – the ultimate comfort food during these cold winter months.

For a light and delicious supper, top with a couple of poached eggs.

    What a great way to eat kale! This might just become a weeknight standard in my household. 🙂
