vegetables

Background

We recently joined a CSA, and although we haven't received our first share yet, we've already been trying to integrate more fruits and vegetables in our diet. Two nights ago, we had a delicious salad with romaine, kale and grilled chicken, peppers and onions. We loved it, but the kale was a bit... tough. We had some kale in a salad at a friend's house that must have been a different variety, because it was much better raw. Anyway, I was making dinner tonight, and tried to figure out a way to make kale a less robust part of the meal. Here's what I came up with:

Ingredients

  • one bunch kale (4-5 large leaves or so)
  • one (14oz) can white northern beans
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/2 red onion
  • 1 large clove garlic
  • 4-5 medium sized tomatoes
  • olive oil
  • balsamic vinegar
  • spices
