Helloooo omnomnomivores 🙂
I’ve had numerous requests for this recipe, and I can totally understand why–it’s freakin’ delicious. I stole this one from Mother Wallace, and every time I make it, I’m filled with warm fuzzy memories of cooking with her as a kid. Simple, delicious, and packed with superfood goodness, this one is a mainstay in my diet, and is totally Paleo, Whole9 and Whole30 approved.
What you’ll need to make a meal-sized serving for 1 hungry omnomnomivore (or 2 side-dish servings for 2 hungry omnomnomivores):
-1 bunch of kale (I like to use 1/2 bunch of broad-leaf green and 1/2 bunch of curly purple), chopped
-1 bag of baby spinach
-8 large cloves of garlic, finely minced
-1/2 of a red onion, finely chopped
-3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
-salt and pepper, to taste
-1 large skillet
And all you have to do is:
1. Heat 2 TBSP of the EVOO in the skillet over medium heat, add garlic, and when the smell of garlic starts to fill your kitchen, add the onion
2. Lightly salt the onion and garlic mixture, lower the heat to med-low, and let the onions cook until translucent while you chop the kale
3. Add kale and a few teaspoons of water, turn heat back up to medium, and give the mix a good stir. Pop the lid on the skillet and let the kale cook down slightly
4. When the kale has shrunk a bit, add the spinach, and another teaspoon or so of water. Mix well, re-cover, and allow to cook for 5-8 minutes, or until the greens have shrunk considerably
5. Uncover, and add the remaining TBSP of EVOO. Turn the heat up to med-high, and stir consistently for 3-4 minutes, or until the veg is cooked to your liking
6. Salt and pepper to taste

Go forth and make greens!
Wallace, out.
[…] hearty, and filling–plus, it’s super easy and 100% W30/W9 friendly. I served it with my favorite veggie side dish, and I gotta say I impressed myself with this one–Vega loved it […]
Really good and simple recipe – a good aromatic olive oil goes a long way. You can spice it up a bit with some red wine vinegar as well.
