Wilted Kale with Sausage & Walnuts |
I love kale & always enjoy cooking one of my favorite greens in different ways. A few months ago I watched Emeril make a great looking wilted kale recipe. Oooo...I was inspired to go right into the kitchen & I made it for lunch. It was very tasty & it's been in my kale recipe rotation ever since. I changed up his recipe to suit my cooking style ~ less oil & butter, regular toasted walnuts instead of walnut butter & I added sliced Trader Joe's Sun-dried Tomato & Basil Chicken Sausages ~ because everything tastes better with those sausages. The way I make, it becomes a quick & simple meal ~ perfect for a light lunch or dinner. Enjoy!
