Kale, a cruciferous vegetable and a nutritional powerhouse of a veggie, has a wide range of nutrients and phytochemicals. Kale is often associated with a distinct and often bitter flavor, however, pairing kale with vegetables high in natural sugars like corn and sweet onions creates a perfect balance.
Ingredients
- Water
- 3/4 pound kale chopped, stems removed
- 2 tsp. extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup sweet onion, chopped
- 2 scallions, trimmed and chopped
- 3/4 cup corn kernels, thawed from frozen or drained from can
- 1/4 cup vegetable broth
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Directions
- In a large pot, bring 3-5 cups of water to a boil. Add kale, cover and reduce heat to medium. Cook kale for about 10-12 minutes, until tender. Drain.
- Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the onion and scallion for 3 minutes, until the onion is soft.
- Add kale, corn and broth to skillet. Reduce heat to low and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring often, until the corn and greens are heated through. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.
