Vegan Creamed Kale

I just saw this recipe blog post for Creamed Kale, from a now-defunct cooking blog. Now that we have a shockingly kale-based diet, I think it would be nice to try it out. Alternatively, we could expand on the earlier spinach theme, and try making it with spinach instead.


INGREDIENTS
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 bunch of kale, stems removed, chopped (around 4 cups)
  • 1/3 cup white wine
  • 1 1/4 cups cashew cream (more if needed)
  • salt and pepper to taste

METHOD
  1. Heat oil in a large pot over med heat.  Saute onion and garlic for a few mins, until translucent, being careful not to burn.
  2. Add kale and a bit of salt and sauté for a few mins, until vibrant green and slightly wilted.
  3. Add wine and cook, uncovered, for about 5-7 mins, until liquid is reduced and kale is tender.
  4. Add cashew cream and mix well.  Cook for 2-3 mins until cream is thickened.Add more if you want creamier kale.  
  5. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
