This is a quick and tasty side dish or snack. It’s also delicious the next day, just take it out of the fridge and allow it to come to room temperature. You could probably try using Chard or any other hearty leafy green. I found this recipe in Marie Simmons’ Fresh & Fast Vegetarian cookbook (highly recommended).
Ingredients 1 small bunch (about 10 oz.) kale, washed and dried 3 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar 2 tablespoons tamari, soy sauce, or liquid aminos 2 tablespoons olive or sunflower oil 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil 1 teaspoon (or more to taste) grated fresh

 One way to make a larger quantity of pesto is by including other greens, which also ups the nutritional value. This recipe includes Kale, but you could try broccoli or another leafy green such as spinach. If you don’t have walnuts or pine nuts, unsalted roasted peanuts are a budget friendly alternative. Tip: you can make the pesto and put in the freezer in ice cube trays. Once the pesto is frozen, pop the cubes into a freezer bag and keep in the freezer for use.
1/2 bunch fresh kale

This is based on a Bobby Flay recipe. Cranberry beans work well, but if you have difficulty finding them, try a different dried bean. Kale is a wonderful addition to soup.

The earthy taste of the kale blends perfectly with the sesame and ginger.

This is a great introduction to eating leafy greens – kale, collards, mustard, turnip, dandelion, etc. (It’s how I became hooked on kale.) The spices take the bitter edge off the greens. You can increase the coriander or add yogurt also. The recipe is from The Ayurvedic Cookbook, by Amadea Morningstar (Lotus Press).
Ingredients 1 bunch dark leafy greens 1/2 to 3/4 cup water 1 teaspoon sunflower oil or ghee (or your favorite oil) 1/2 teaspoon whole cumin seeds 1 teaspoon coriander powder
Directions Wash the greens and chop them, removing the stem in the process. Bring the water to
