Simple Kale Side Dish

4 Servings

Difficulty Level: Easy

Ingredients:

  • 1-2 Bunches Kale (or other “tough” leafy green)
  • 1 Bell Pepper
  • 1 Onion
  • 1 Tb Coconut Oil
  • 1 tsp Dried Thyme
  • 1 tsp No-Salt Seasoning Blend
  • 1 tsp Lemon Pepper

Steps:

  1. Cut kale leaf away from stem and chop into small pieces.
  2. Wash and slice onion and bell pepper.
  3. Heat oil in a sauté pan over medium heat.  Add seasonings and heat through for 1 minute.
  4. Add onion and leave until almost brown (3-5 minutes), then add bell pepper and mix.  Cook for 1-2 minutes (depending how firm you like your veggies), then add kale on top but do not mix.  Put lid on pan, and let cook through for 2-3 minutes – until kale darkens and softens.  Mix vegetables, and serve.
