Kale, Tomato and Corn

It started with a stalk of lemongrass that I bought at the grocery store. I looked up how to use it, and decided to give it a try with kale. If I had had a bunch of lemongrass, it might have been worth it. As it was, you could get a hint of the lemon. All in all, the mixture was pretty good. The fake sausage might have been too much, calorie wise.


Saute:
1/2 tsp coconut oil
2 egg whites, scrambled
1/2 tsp ground pepper

Add and continue saute:
2 leeks, slice up the white end, toss the rest

Add and continue saute:
9 grape tomatoes, halved
1/3 C corn kernals
1 orange pepper, sliced and chopped
slices of 1 stalk lemongrass
2 Tbsp sliced olives
1/2 tsp dill
1/4 C tomato sauce

Add, cover and wilt:
1.5 oz white wine
1 C. kale, ripped into bite size pieces

Serve and top with:
4 fake sausages, microwaved 1.5 minutes, sliced up

Serve with:
1/4 C greek yogurt on the side and use as dipping sauce.

Rated a 4.6 on Kale Scale.
