Kale and Butternut Squash Sauté
Serves 6
- 1 pound kale
- 1 pound (4 cups) pre-cut butternut squash
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon shallot, finely chopped
- 2 large cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup toasted pine nuts
- Pinch of chile pepper flakes
- ⅛ teaspoon sea salt
- ⅛ teaspoon cracked black pepper
- 4 tablespoons grated Pecorino Romano cheese
Chop off and discard the rough ends of the kale. Wash, dry thoroughly, and coarsely chop the kale. Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the squash, and cook 15 to 20 minutes, or until browned and an inserted fork easily glides in. Add the kale, cook for 1 minute, and then add the shallot, garlic, chile flakes, salt, and pepper. Saute for 3 more minutes, add the pine nuts, and cook for another minute. Transfer the mixture to a serving dish, and top with Pecorino Romano. Hold the cheese for a vegan dish.
Its like you read my mind! You appear to know so much about this, like you wrote
the book in it or something. I think that you can do with
some pics to drive the message home a little bit, but other than that, this is wonderful blog.
An excellent read. I will definitely be back.
