\u2026 Warm Kale and Bean Salad<\/span><\/h4>\n

\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s Sunday and after church<\/a> I spent the afternoon with some friends.\u00a0 In the evening I cooked this one.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

For some reason I wasn\u2019t feeling that I would do this one in the fifteen minutes.\u00a0 I did.\u00a0 Just.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This was a messy one.\u00a0 Or at least I was messy with this one tonight.\u00a0 There was a significant amount of tender stem broccoli, curly kale and cavolo nero on the floor.\u00a0 I also lost quite a few of my blanched hazel nuts down the back of the cooker.\u00a0 I just didn\u2019t feel as calm as I have the last few nights.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was a steady thirteen or so minutes of cooking, no waiting around just solid cooking until then.\u00a0 Then it was just waiting for the gnocchi to cook. The food was done and on the table in exactly 15 minutes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This was a nice meal.\u00a0 It wasn\u2019t the best or the most fun.\u00a0 But a good meal nonetheless.\u00a0 I like eating greens.\u00a0 And I love cavolo nero.\u00a0 I used to grew cavolo nero when I had my 120 foot garden.\u00a0 I miss my garden! I think it\u2019s surprising that this meal is as good as it is.\u00a0 It\u2019s a tomato based sauce.\u00a0 Usually tomato sauces are long slow cooking sauces.\u00a0 I have a feeling that the left overs will taste better, after the flavors have time to infuse.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There were not a lot of pantry ingredients with this one.\u00a0 It also requires about a glass of wine (specifically Chianti).\u00a0 So I had to buy a bottle.\u00a0 It went nicely with the food but does distort the cost more than a little. Also I have two sausages and almost a pack of streaky bacon left over.\u00a0 Bacon is one thing that I won\u2019t buy cheaply.\u00a0 I hate it when you cook bacon and it just leaks water.\u00a0 It\u2019s one of those things that\u2019s worth spending a bit of money on.<\/span><\/p>\n
