Delicious Sautéed Kale

Kale is tremendously beneficial to us. It is very alkalising, packed with antioxidants, vitamin A, B6, C and E; a great source of calcium and iron.

You will need:
. 3 handfuls of fresh organic Kale  (there are various types of kale, you can mix a few or choose one variety - lushly curly green kale is sooo tasty. My favourite!
. 1 onion cut into small pieces
. 2 or 3 crushed garlic heads
. 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil or 1 teaspoon of ghee
. 1 teaspoon of black mustard seeds
. salt and pepper

In a frying pan, add the oil or ghee, then the onions and garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes. Add the mustard seeds and sauté for another 2 minutes. Add the kale. Mix it in with the spices and let cook until the kale is nice and soft. If you
put a lid,  the kale will cook quicker and keep the flavours.

This is a simple and quick to make recipe to be eaten on its own or as a side dish.
This morning, I cracked 2 eggs on top of the kale, add some chopped parsley and ate it with a small slice of brown pitta bread. It was very satisfying!!!
