Marinated Kale

  • 7 cups kale sliced leaves, packed tightly
  • 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil

  • 2 tbsp (30g) unsalted butter
  • 3-4 large garlic cloves , minced

Dressing

  • 1 - 2 tbsp (15-30g) butter
  • ⅓ cup chopped almonds, or your choice of nuts

Instructions

  • Place sliced kale leaves in a large bowl. Drizzle oil, sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper. Scrunch with hands for 30 seconds, set aside while rice cooks.

  • Add rice, stir for a few seconds.
  • Add broth, stir, then cover.
