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.
