Fruited Saute

Change in weather to bitter cold, reduces my interest in cold kale salad. So I went shopping hungry again, and bought another bit of pasta and marinara sauce with port and asiago cheese. That was very tasty.

Paired this with a fruit'n'kale saute. For an experiment, put in a wedge of lite laughing cow soft cheese with a bit of wine and balsamic vinegar to make a bit of sauce. Turned out pretty good, if I do say so myself.

Saute:
1/2 tsp coconut oil
1/3 C onion, chopped fine
1 tsp garlic, minced

Add and saute more:
3/4 Bosc pear, chopped
2 clementine oranges, peeled and chopped

Add and swish around til cheese is melted:
1-2 Tbsp dry sherry
2 tsp balsamic vinegar
1 wedge lite laughing cow cheese

Add, cover and wilt:
1 Tbsp white wine
1 C. Kale - used rainbow kale today - ripped to bite size pieces

This concoction ended up being sweet enough, it could have been dessert!


Rated a 4.56 on the Kale Scale.
