Kale With Beans and Potatoes image

This recipe was inspired by a kale side dish recipe I got from a friend. It is a very colorful and flavorful dish. I modified it to be more in keeping with a Nutritarian eating style and added beans and sunflower seeds to make it into a main course. You can reduce prep time by using pre-chopped or frozen kale, frozen onion and carrots and jarred garlic.

12 ounces kale, de-stemmed and chopped
1 large onion, chopped
1 large red pepper, chopped
2 cups carrots, chopped or 5 medium carrots
6 garlic cloves, minced

Steps:

  • Remove the center stem from the kale and discard. Wash and chop kale leaves and set aside. If you don't know how to remove the stems from kale, Google: remove kale stems.

  • Coat large covered non-stick frying pan or Dutch oven (at least 5 quarts) with oil. Add onion, pepper, carrots, garlic, potatoes, tomatoes and water. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently to prevent sticking or burning.
