Ingredients

  • 2 TB Earth Balance
  • 1 TB olive oil
  • One whole head of garlic, peeled and separated
  • One bunch of lacinato kale, chopped
  • 2 tsp soy sauce
  • 1–2 TB sesame seeds
  • red chili pepper flakes, optional

Instructions

  1. Melt the Earth Balance in a large, flat-bottomed skillet over medium-low heat.
  2. Smash each of the garlic cloves with the side of a broad knife and throw them into to melted vegan butter. Add in the olive oil and soften the garlic for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently to ensure it doesn’t burn.
  3. Once it is softened, remove the garlic from the skillet, but leave the remaining liquid.
  4. Increase the heat to medium and place the kale into the skillet and cover. Allow to slightly wilt for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and stir in the soy sauce.
  5. To serve, sprinkle with the softened garlic, sesame seeds and chili pepper flakes.

    Good basic idea, just sorry for all the fat, so I am leaving it out. I have plans of living a while longer and I cook without oui.

    Just made this lovely, uber tasty dish. I subbed out Miyako’s vegan butter and added diced Campari tomatoes when I removed from the heat. Simply marvelous! Thx so very much for posting this. Will certainly be making this again!
