Braised Kale Greens & Vegetables
Ingredients:
- 1 lb kale, pre-cut & cleaned bag
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 red onion, chopped
- 2 Roma tomatoes, diced
- 1/2 tsp ground oregano
- Tony Charchere Creole Seasoning
- 32 oz vegetable stock
- Crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp pepper
Directions:
1. Wash and dry kale from pre-cut and cleaned bag before use.
2. In a pot, heat 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Add in red onions and garlic and cook down for about 3 minutes. Add roma tomatoes to the pot and cook down until tomatoes begin to break down. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Add in pre-cut kale handfuls at a time. Mix together a few handfuls of kale to the vegetables and stir together. Add oregano, Tony Charchere Creole Seasoning and crushed red pepper flakes to the pot and stir in. Season to your desired flavor.
4. Once the kale and vegetables are combined, add in more handfuls of kale and begin to stir in until the whole bag is finished. You should have a thick mixture. Slowly pour in the vegetable stock and stir in until it just about covers the kale. Turn the heat down to low.
5. Simmer for about 15 - 20 minutes. Taste and check the seasoning level. Adjust by adding in more Tony Charchere Creole Seasoning and crushed red pepper flakes to your desired flavor. They will be ready when they are fork tender and have lost their bright green color to a deep green. Just like how your grandma used to make it. Dairy and meat free but still packed with flavor!
