Technically, this recipe is still in progress. I've been toying with it for a while, and I think it tastes really nice, but it seems to be missing just a little something. Soy sauce? Curry powder?? I can't put my finger on it. So, feel free to experiment with it. And if you find that special "punch" please let me know what it is!
P.S. I love a rich, hearty peanut butter flavor, so this sauce is thick with it. If you prefer a more subtle peanut "whang," try reducing the peanut butter by half.
1 C long grain brown rice
2 C water
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 bunch green kale, chopped (stems removed)
1/2 yellow onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 C creamy natural peanut butter
3/4 C water
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp fine sea salt
1/2 tsp paprika
Dash of cayenne
- Bring two cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add brown rice. Stir, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer until soft (30 - 45 minutes).
- While rice is cooking, prepare your peanut sauce. In a medium bowl, mix together peanut butter, water and spices until well-blended. Set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet or saute pan. Add onions and garlic, saute until translucent and soft. Add kale and cook only until dark green and slightly wilted (5-10 minutes). Do not overcook or kale will turn into a slimy mess.
- Add peanut sauce to kale and stir until well-coated.
- Place desired amount of rice into a bowl and top with kale and sauce mixture.
- Garnish with chopped peanuts.
- Enjoy!

Those are my two favorite things in one!! Must try this :)
This looks great! I love the idea of your blog. There is a lot of people that assume being vegan is expensive. :)
Try some apple cider vinegar or lime juice in the sauce. It might make all the difference :)
I agree with Kirsten, lime juice does wonders!
