Couscous with Kale and Mushrooms


Guess what?


I LOVE KALE!!!

I bet you were starting to worry about me and my sugar-fat-calorie intake.  Because I love that too, probably more than kale, but I digress... we're talking about green, leafy things rich in vitamins and minerals!!  KALE!  If you're thinking, "Ew, Siri, that is way too green for me, and bitter, and trendy" well, than I say to you, "green is pretty, it's only bitter if you prepare it wrong and yes, it is trendy, but let's be cool people."

Last night I chopped up some mushrooms into teeny, tiny pieces, sauteed them in olive oil... 


...chopped up kale in teeny, tiny pieces and let them wilt with the mushrooms...


...added one tablespoon of butter, one teaspoon of soy sauce and salt and pepper to taste, and then tossed it with a box of couscous.  The earthy mushrooms and the salty soy balance out the kale, and the small amount of butter adds depth and deliciousness and butter.  

You should try it, I'll be back to cookies soon.
