stuffed kale leaves
This year I planted my Kale in a pot to keep it away from the rabbits and slugs. I had such a great crop that my sister, Anna and I came up with this recipe. You can also use swiss chard, cabbage, or any other edible green leaf. Just for fun we added a little cinnamon. We plan on varying the seasonings the next time we cook this, maybe a little allspice. So have fun cooking.

How To Make stuffed kale leaves
-
1Kale- Wash and cut off steams. If Kale is tough, steam for 7 minutes. Make 12 piles of leaves to make rolls. If needed, you can place several smaller leaves together for the roll.
-
2Filling- Mix the first 10 ingredients in a large bowl. Add enough liquid to make loose mixture. Divide equally on the 12 piles of Kale leaves.
-
3Prepare large pot by adding two tablespoons of oil. Roll up kale with filling to make bundles. Place in pot. Cover with spaghetti sauce and water/broth.
-
4Cook on high until it comes to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer on low for one hour.
