Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cooking Time: 30 minutes

Serves: 4

3 Tbsp extra light olive oil

3 large garlic bulbs peeled & thinly sliced

1/2 tsp cumin seeds

3 dried red chilies chopped (optional)

1½ Tbsp Mom's Magic Spice Blend

1 lb. prewashed kale greens, stemmed and finely chopped

1/4 cup water

1 tsp salt or to taste

In a large saucepan, heat the oil. Add garlic and cumin seeds, sauté for about 5 to 7  minutes until the garlic turns golden. Add red chilies and the spice blend. Stir on a low flame for a minute.

Add the kale greens in batches, allowing each batch to cook down enough before adding the next batch.  Once all the kale is added to the saucepan, sprinkle 1/4 cup water, cover the lid and cook on a medium flame. Stir occasionally, until the kale is cooked through (should be tender and not bitter).

Add salt and mix well. Serve with quinoa or rice.

Note: Add grilled chicken or tofu for protein.
