Description

This Vegan Creamy Kale is sure to impress your family and friends with its creamy, flavorful taste and nutrient-dense profile. Get your greens in this easy-to-make dish that is gluten-free, oil-free and contains only 4-ingredients.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 bunches kale (try lacinto, red, green or a combination)
  • 1 cup cashews 
  • 1 cup water
  • ½ Tablespoon granulated onion
  • Sprinkle of nutmeg
  • Salt to taste (try Herbamare)


Instructions

  • If you don’t have a high-speed blender, soak the cashews in enough water to cover them for 4-8 hours. Then drain the water.
  • If you have a high speed blender like a Blendtec or a Vitamix, no need to soak the cashews.
  •  Add the cashews to your blender, along with 1 cup of water and the granulated onion.
  • Blend until very smooth.
  • Strip the kale off the fibrous middle stem.
  • Wash it thoroughly and chop into bite-sized pieces. It is easier to strip when it’s dry, so wash it after your strip it.
  • Add the kale to a pot with 1 cup of water. Cover the pot and turn the heat to high on the stove.
  • Steam the kale for about 5 minutes or until bright green.
  • Remove from the stove and drain the water from the pot.
  • Pour the cashew mixture into the pot of kale and combine until all of the kale is coated. Sprinkle with nutmeg (do not forget this step).
  • Add salt or Herbamare to taste.
