Some Healthy Dark Leafy Greens

While this might not be the most interesting post, it's definitely the healthiest! As someone who has always had a tendency toward anemia, it's really important that I get a lot of iron in my diet. Hence, all the dark, leafy greens! Whenever I get bored of spinach, I usually turn to kale.... and this recipe for sesame kale that I found on Epicurious was really tasty!

Ingredients

1 large bunch of kale

1 tsp vegetable oil

1 tsp garlic paste

1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

2 tsp toasted sesame oil

2 tsp sesame seeds, toasted

Trim the bottom stems off the kale and roughly chop.

In a large pot, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Place a steamer basket in the pot and add the kale. Let it steam, covered for 4 minutes. Uncover and cook for another 3 minutes.

While the kale is steaming, toast the sesame seeds by placing them in a dry pan and heating until lightly browned.

Heat the vegetable oil over medium heat in a skillet. Add the garlic paste and cayenne, followed by the kale. Cook for 3 minutes. Finally, transfer kale to a bowl and toss with sesame oil and toasted sesame seeds.
