My older sister (mentioned in this earlier post {here}) recently passed on this quick and healthy recipe that I wanted to share. I’m usually not a huge fan of fennel when it’s raw, but she has assured me it tastes different once cooked so I’m looking forward to trying this mix out soon! Thanks Sarah :)
Ingredients:
- 2 tbsps extra virgin olive oil
- 5 cloves garlic chopped
- 3 shallots sliced
- 1 head of kale (approx 3 cups)
- 1 bulb of fennel, sliced (approx 1.5 cups)
- 1/2 yellow pepper chopped
- juice of one lemon (keep 1 tsp reserved)
- 1 tbsp dill
- 1 tsp + 1 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tbsp + 1/2 tbsp onion powder
- dash red pepper flakes
- 1/2 cup chicken stock (She loves Kitchen Basics)
How to:
- Cook garlic and shallots in evoo over medium heat until slightly browned
- Add kale and 1 tsp salt plus 1/2 tbsp onion powder and cook about 5 minutes (or until all leaves are wilted slightly)
- Add remaining ingredients except stock and let cook about 10 minutes (or until fennel and peppers are soft)
- Add chicken stock and cook on med-high until almost all liquid is gone
- Squeeze remaining lemon juice over food
- Enjoy!
