Fava on Steamed Kale with Tomato

The last of the fava beans from the CSA booty. Tonight, it's a bit hot weather-wise. So instead of heating up kitchen by boiling the fava beans, I cooked them in the microwave (in spices and flavored liquids). Using the Pampered Chef Steamer, and my favorite top of the plate steamer, this made for a quick meal.

Microwave for 1.5 minutes and put on dinner plate
1.15 cu, kale, raw

Microwave for 2.5 minutes these 11 ingredients, cool just a bit and then place on top of the kale:
2/3 cup,  fava beans, immature, raw
1 tbsp,  vinegar, balsamic
1 tsp,  garlic, minced
2 tbsp,  white wine
1/2 tsp,  black pepper, ground
3 fl oz,  cranberry pomegranate juice
1/4 tsp,   mrs. dash
1/4 tsp,  cumin, ground
1 tsp,   raisin, seedless
1/4 tsp,   cinnamon, ground, -
1/4 tsp,   coriander ground

Add to the kale / fava plate:
8,    tomato, grape size, halved
10 gram,  cheddar cheese, sharp-white, diced

Rated a 4.66 on the Kale Scale.
