Beef Not with Kale

Beef Not is a dried soy product, and quite good, by Dixie Diners. The recipe below made two servings for me (not on the same day, of course).  This is something I found in my notes while cleaning up around here - one of my Kale meals from 2011 that never made it to the blog til now. Nonetheless, delicious and worthy of note.

Ingredients
1 Cup Beef Not
1 Cup Boullion (a cube with 1 cup water)
1.3 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
1.3 Tbsp soy sauce
1 Tbsp sherry
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground pepper
1/2 tsp Mrs Dash
1 can diced tomatoes
1/4 cup corn
1 red pepper, chopped up
2 tsp cornstarch mixed with 2 T cold water
2 T water
2 cups kale, chopped up and divided - 1 cup per serving

• Reconstitue the Beef Not following instructions on package.
• Saute, and simmer:
• Beef Not and all ingredients through red pepper for 10-15 minutes.
• Add, and continue simmer until sauce thickens a bit:
• Cornstarch mixed with water.
• Steam:
• 1 cup of kale
• Serve by topping the kale with 1 serving of beef not mixture.

Rated a 4.7 on the Kale Scale.
