Penne With Chorizo and Kale image

I created this recipe to suit the veggies I happened to have in my fridge at the time. It was pretty slim pickings but if I'd had onions or fresh lemon I might have added those too. As it was, I was pretty pleased with this. If you don't have chorizo, you could use your favourite sausage.

2 chorizo sausages, thickly sliced
2 teaspoons olive oil
3 -4 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups kale leaves, washed and finely chopped

salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Steam the broccoli and set aside.
  • Boil some water in a large saucepot and cook the pasta according to package directions.
  • Meanwhile, fry the chorizo in a frying pan on a high heat, turning so both sides get nice and crispy.
  • Remove the chorizo from the pan and leave to drain on paper towel.
  • Use a little more paper towel to clean out most of the fat from the chorizo from the frying pan, then add the olive oil.
  • Set the pan over a medium heat and lightly saute the garlic for 30 seconds.
  • Add the kale and cook for 1-2 minutes until wilted.
  • Stir in the broccoli and chorizo and set aside.
