Creamed Kale

I learned how to make this dish when attending a cooking class at Whole Foods Market. Having all ingredients ready, the teacher made it just in a few minutes.

The original online recipe calls for optional nutritional yeast but this is one the ingredients that will give the creamy taste to the dish.

What is important is that the onions are cooked with broth instead of using oil. You won't notice the difference!


Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1 white onion, finely chopped
  • 1 cup unsweetened nondairy milk
  • 1/4 cup raw cashews
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon mellow white miso
  • Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes
  • 4 cups chopped kale or other dark, leafy green
Directions:

Heat broth in a large skillet over medium heat. Add white onion and cook until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a blender or food processor, add soy milk, cashews, nutritional yeast, onion powder, miso, nutmeg and pepper flakes and purée until smooth.

Transfer blended mixture back to skillet and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Stir in kale and continue simmering, tossing often until kale is just tender, about 5 minutes.


Serve over rice, quinoa, or a grain of your choice. I just found out about Freekeh, which is supposed to be a supergrain:
