[quote=Anonymous]Dutch oven, put a little avocado oil in the bottom and put it on the stove, covered. Add each in a layer, keeping it covered in between: rough chopped kale, 1 whole onion (cut however you want), 1-2 minced garlic cloves, 2 cans stewed tomatoes (with liquid). Add either beans (for vegetarian chili type stew) or raw ground meat (for pasta sauce). I batch cook with two Dutch ovens, starting in one, splitting when it’s time to add meat or let it sit before adding beans. Both versions freeze really well. With cooked beans, you only want to heat them through. Spice with cumin, allspice, coriander, chili powder, cayenne, anything similar. Cover and let it cook for at least 20 minutes (until your kale is very well cooked!), stirring about every 5, then add your beans and let it sit without added heat for about 5 minutes. Stir, serve with sour cream, shred cheese, whatever. I’ve had kids gobble it up mixed with rice or over mashed potatoes. With raw meat, you want the extra cook time, and the flavors of the meat will be absorbed better if the kale hasn’t started wilting as much. I throw the meat in after the vegetables have had about 3-5 minutes, and I add parley, oregano, basil, thyme, rosemary, etc. I stir it once every 2-5 minutes, basically just making sure nothing is sticking to the bottom or together. It’s fantastic over noodles if the meat is very small, but with bigger chunks I use shapes or tubes. Parmesan on top, Brie on the side, sometime a crumble of cheddar on the side. Kids love this one too.[/quote]
