Keep your New Year's Resolution!

You know that New Year's Resolution? The one to eat healthier? Well, nothing is healthier than a bit of greens! I experimented a bit this evening and came up with a healthy way to get your kale on!

First, prep yourself your favorite rice (for two people) according to the package directions.

Then prep your Kale. You'll need a good solid bunch...

Cut off one leaf and fold in half...

Cut along the tough stem...

Do this for all your leaves of kale.
Roughly tear up the leaves and place in a bowl. Rinse thoroughly and spin in a salad spinner if you have one.

Then, roughly chop up an onion. Place in large skillet or pan with about two tablespoons or so of oil. Cook until translucent...

It's Chorizo time! I used a vegetarian Chorizo, but if you wanted to use the real thing feel free, but it won't be quite as healthy...

Open the package and cut away the casing so what you have looks simply like ground up goodness...

Add to the pan of onions and cook until lightly browned. Add about a half a cup of good red wine (a spanish one would be best) For a great extra tang you could also add vinegar of your choosing. Cook for a few minutes and then add the kale. Depending on your pan, you may need to add it in two batches. Add the first half and let wilt, then add the rest.

Cover your cooking unit for a short while to allow the kale to steam and wilt. When it is done it will look something like this...

Serve over rice with a bit of cheese on top... some shredded Manchego would be nice. I used a cheddar blend which was the only thing I had on hand.
