This serves 8, so you might want to make a smaller batch. Also, the kale reduces dramatically when it's cooked, so what looks like a lot turns out to be not so much.

Chunky Veggie StewIngredients:
  • 1 medium sized bunch of kale
  • 2 tsp. olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium red onion, chopped

  • 1 1/2 TBS cornstarch
  • 2 TBS cold water
  • 1 TBS soy sauce
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • Directions:
