Orange Kale and Wild Rice
We have had the most beautiful Kale in our winter garden this year and it is so nice to just go out to the garden and bring it into the kitchen and enjoy the fresh Kale. We have really enjoyed our Kale this winter in salads, smoothies and it is a great addition to rice and pasta. Today I am making a recipe featuring the Kale with Wild Rice and Orange, I just love that blend of flavors in this dish.

ReplyDeleteWow, fresh kale from your garden... so wonderful. Thanks for sharing this healthy dish with us on foodie friday.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds delicious! I wonder how it would be with quinoa instead of rice? And how easy is it to grow kale in your garden?
ReplyDeleteHi Linda,
DeleteI think the recipe would be great with Quinoa, I would just add the orange juice to the Kale and let it reduce just a bit before mixing it with the Quinoa. The Quinoa won't absorb the liquid the way the rice will, but it would taste great.
It is really easy to grow Kale. We grow it as a winter vegetable and it just thrives. I sometimes plant it in the flower beds, it is real pretty all winter. We plant it in the fall and have it all winter into the late spring. We will replant in the spring, but then it doesn't do well in the heat that we have in July and August.
I have some Kale that I need to use up and I think this would be the perfect way to do so. This recipe looks divine, Miz Helen. Thanks for sharing at Simple Supper Tuesday and have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI have been looking for more ways to eat kale (besides blended up in a smoothie). I think I will try this. Thanks for sharing,
