Baby Kale Sauteed with Garlic Vinegar
With Apple Ridge Farm baby kale or Menegus Farm Swiss chard, this is so good you’ll want to make a wheelbarrow of it.
Simple ingredients:
1 Tb Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Whole Dried Hot Pepper of Your Choice
1 Bunch Baby Kale or Swiss Chard
1/4 c Rolling Hills Garlic Honey Vinegar
Coarse Sea Salt or Kosher Salt to Taste
Simple Instructions:
Heat the oil in a wok or roomy saute pan, add the hot pepper and saute it a few minutes, then remove it and discard. Add the kale and saute until it’s just wilted. Splash in the vinegar and toss the pan to distribute, then sprinkle on salt to taste.
The first choice to serve this with? Spring Mountain Farms Lamb. It will also pair well with their Pork or grilled Beef.
Or just by itself with a hunk of crusty bread and a piece of Cranberry Creek aged Goat Cheese.
