Ingredients

  • 1 small red onion roughly chopped
  • 3 cups of cousa squash sliced at medium thickness
  • 2 tightly packed cups of kale de-stemmed, washed
  • 1 cup of vegetable stock
  • Sea salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil optional

Instructions

  • Start by heating up 2-3 tbsp of vegetable stock in a medium sized pan or wok, then add in the onions and cook on medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir often and add more stock or water as needed.
  • Add in the cousa along with half of the remaining vegetable stock and stir to coat. Turn the heat to low and cover, stirring in allowing it to simmer for 5-7 minutes or until the cousa is just starting to soften.
  • Tear the kale into bite-sized pieces (this doesn't need to be exact) before adding to the pan along with the remaining vegetable stock. Stir occasionally until kale is wilted.
  • Season with sea salt and black pepper and allow to cool slightly before dressing with olive oil if desired.
