Dinner tonight focused on using up the last of last week's
kale, as well as some peppers (1 orange bell pepper and 1 yellow, plus 1 jalapeño)
that had seen better days. In lieu of a recipe, here's how I threw this all together.
I sliced an onion and the peppers, minced
some garlic, and threw it all into a
sauté pan with some olive oil. After
letting the onions carmelize a bit, I added the kale (handful by handful,
letting it cook down to fit in the pan).
As the vegetables started sticking, I added some water. A quick taste confirmed that that jalapeño
was REALLY hot. (I had included the
seeds.) The flavors needed balancing, so
I added some seasoned rice vinegar. The
sour was a welcome addition, but it needed a bit more sweetness to round things
out. So, I diced an apple and threw that
in. Then I let it cook with the cover on
until the apples softened. Turned out
great. It was gone before I had a chance
to take a picture.
That sounds delicious!
