Super-Fantastic Noochtastic Kale


You know you've been meaning to, anyway, and this is the perfect way to do it! This has long been my established, go-to approach to leafy greens, and while it hardly qualifies as a "recipe," it's so good that I figured I'd finally type it up for the Good of Humanity. (It's also MoFo, and I need fodder for blog posts, dammit!) This works equally well with spinach, collards, chard, or whatever greenery strikes your fancy, but I really think that the sturdiness of kale (or, as we like to call it, "Nature's Wonder Food") is particularly toothsome when coated in garlic and nooch. So no more excuses: get out your wok and get ready for a massive infusion of iron and B vitamins. Whoo-hoo!


Super-Fantastic Noochtastic Kale
Ingredients
~ 1-2 tbsp. olive oil
~ 1 big bunch kale, cleaned and chopped
~ 2 tbsp. minced garlic
~ 1/2 tsp. salt
~ 1/3 cup nutritional yeast (or more depending on the quantity of greens and your nooch jones)

Directions
~ In a large, deep skillet or wok, heat the oil over medium heat and sauté the garlic for a minute or so.
~ Add the salt, and begin adding kale in batches, stirring until it just wilts.
~ Continue cooking for about 4-5 minutes, stirring constantly (you can add a little water if it starts to stick).
~ Stir in the nutritional yeast and cook another minute, making sure that all the greens are coated.
~ Remove from heat and serve immediately.

I should make some of this- pronto! (Especially since I can reuse your mofo fodder and it will fit nicely with my greens theme!)
