Eight Grain Kale

This week I've been having Bob's Red Mill Eight Grain Cereal for breakfast, topped with a few chopped strawberries. I thought, hmmm...., this is pretty simple, I'll bet I could do this for dinner and stir in a cup of chopped kale. Seemed pretty simple. And the result was simple. But it took 6 pots/pans/plate/bowls to get there!

Prepare to cook in microwave:

1/4 cup of Eight Grain Cereal
1.25 cup water
3/4 red pear, chopped up

Cook this 2 minutes at a time. Pull out, stir, and zap more.

After 4 minutes, Add:
20 red grapes, cut in half

Cook more, 2 min per time. After the last 2 min, let the cereal sit for couple minutes. Then stir.

While cereal is cooking, Steam in big pot:
1.25 Cups of kale, chopped up into bite size pieces

When cereal and kale are ready, mix in a bowl.
Serve in a bowl with soy milk.


Rated a 4.7 on the Kale Scale for taste.
