kale w/ tomato & feta

$2.92 recipe / $0.73 serving

Sometimes the best recipes come when you're just sweepin' out your fridge. All three of these items (kale, tomato, feta) were things that I had purchased and not used for one reason or another. Sometimes you just have to scan your fridge and cupboard to see if anything inspires you. You'd be surprised at how many delicious things you can make from the "left over" ingredients in your kitchen. The more you cook, the better you'll get at knowing what works together and before you know it, you'll be creating delicious meals out of what seems like nothing!

This was insanely good, btw. I want to make it again and throw a fried egg on top. ...but then, I like to put a fried egg on just about everything.

So simple yet so delicious.


Add the garlic and olive oil to a large skillet and saute over medium heat for 1-2 minutes.


While the garlic is cooking, dice the tomato.


Add the diced tomato the skillet and saute for a few minutes more.


While the tomato is cooking, remove the stem from the kale. Sometimes I use a knife to cut down the sides of the stem, sometimes I just tear the leaves away with my hands. After removing the stem, cut the leaves into chunks.


Rinse the kale well under cool water to remove any debris stuck to the leaves.


Add the kale to the skillet...


Saute the kale until it is wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.


Crumble the feta cheese over top and serve! ...or add a fried egg on top.
