This recipe had very good flavor and we enjoyed it. Not filled out with extra starches so we had flexibility to add sides or other dishes to make a lovely very nutritious meal. I found the medium high cooking temp to be too high in general on my stove and certainly for lacinto kale which is what I used. Will cook on medium heat next time. This only made three servings for us as a main course. Will make again.<\/p>","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":4,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2024-05-14","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"Smb1996451"},"reviewBody":"
I came across this while searching for recipes with Kale. It turned out great with lots of flavor. I used vegan Beyond Meat sweet Italian sausages.
