Serve over a bed of quinoa or rice (a blend of brown and wild rice is ideal)

This dish is a nutritional powerhouse, and SO easy to make. It's a tasty and low cal way to get protein, calcium and those dark leafy greens all in one 10 minute recipe.

Sounds yummy? How many servings does the whole recipe make, in your opinion?

Well, that depends. If you serve it on top of a grain like quinoah or rice, it will make either about 4 huge servings or 6 medium servings, but it will depend on how much you put on top of the grain.

Once I ate the whole thing in 3 servings, but I only had about 1/2 cup of rice under it each time!

Uh... you're supposed to put rice with it? I eat it plain, right out of the pot...

(Kidding, at least partly)

I make this sometimes, and it's about 2 good servings for me with quinoa. Of course, I think I don't follow amounts as closely as they're supposed to be... I'm pretty sure I use less chickpeas - don't know why exactly, I've just found a ratio of chickpeas:kale that I like, and I stick with that...

This is AWESOME with the lacinato/dinosaur kale, by the way...

This is AWESOME with the lacinato/dinosaur kale, by the way...That's my favorite way to eat it, with coconut oil instead of olive, lots more garlic (like 6 freshly pressed cloves) and an entire lemon lemon and with about 1/4 a cup unhulled sesame seeds added in :drool:

That sounds really good.I'm gonna have to try that with the sesame seeds!
I don't know if I've ever seen dinosaur kale, but I do love using rainbow kale for some reason!

I really like rainbow chard too (very earthy flavor!) but I mostly make it with lacinato/dino kale (and all the other things) for nutritional reasons.

I am cooking this tonight for dinner. I was wondering would it be ok with veggie sausage crumbled in it. I have 1/2 package of "sausage" that I need to use before it goes bad.

I make dishes like this quite a bit. Might give this one a go Sunday, it sounds good.

Mmmm....sounds delish and I bought Kale last week which I really need to use. I figured if I buy something every week that I've never cooked with I'll have to find a recipe for it and will in turn widen my food recipe horizons!! Peace & Love!!
