Fava Beans, Corn and Kale

The fava beans are not only good, but they satiate - make you feel full. I boiled the beans with a chopped up apricot in a mixture of water, wine, pomagranete juice, pepper, turmeric, oregano, hot paprika, coriander, cinnamon.  These herbs and spices are not part of the nutrition count - they merely added flavor, and I pulled the beans out with a slotted spoon.

Cook for 20 minutes, then drain
Fava Beans in liquid and herbs/spices

Microwave for 4 minutes
1 ear of corn
When done, cut the kernels off the cob, mix with 1 tsp butter and pepper. Set aside.

Steam until wilted
1+ cup of kale, ripped to bite size pieces.

Put it all together on plate:
Kale
Corn kernels
3 cherry tomatoes, quartered
9 green castelvetrano olives, halved
Fava beans, drained
2 oz non-fat greek yogurt


Rated a 4.7 on the Kale Scale.
