This is a delicious recipe that I got from Healthy Chef Alex Jamieson's website and recipe file. See below for link
Carolina Kale
Serves 4 - 6
1 ½ lbs. Kale or collard greens
2 cups chopped canned tomatoes and their juice or 3 cups chopped fresh tomatoes
1 cup minced onions
1 ½ tsp ground cumin
2 garlic cloves, pressed or minced
¼ tsp. cayenne pepper
1 tsp salt or soy sauce
ground black pepper to taste
Wash the greens. Remove the large stems and any discolored leaves. Stack the leaves and slice them crosswise into 1/8-inch strips.
Combine the tomatoes, onions, cumin, garlic, cayenne, and salt or soy sauce in a saucepan, cover, and cook on medium heat for 5 minutes. Add the greens, cover, and gently simmer, stirring frequently, for 10 to 15 minutes, until the greens are tender. If necessary, add a little water during the cooking to maintain liquid in the bottom of the pan.
Add pepper to taste and serve hot.
Note: I used two bunches of kale and fresh tomatoes. I put a large serving on top of sweet potatoes and it is so good and I'm so pleased that I'm getting the greens in my body :o).
