Kale With Sweet Corn Food

KALE, CORN, AND SWEET POTATO CHOWDER

Steps:

• Heat the canola oil over medium-high heat in a large pot.
• For three minutes saute the sweet potato, red pepper, celery, onion, and carrots.
• Thoroughly combine the thyme and tumeric with the vegetables.
• Add the vegetable stock (or cold water) and tomato and simmer for five minutes.
• Add desired amount of cayenne pepper.
• In a blender or food processor, blend 3/4 cup of broth from the large pot with the cashews and cornstarch.
• When smooth, pour the contents of the blender into the soup and continue simmering for three minutes, stirring often.

CORN AND KALE SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add corn to boiling water and turn off heat. Let corn soak in hot water for 5 minutes. Remove the corn, reserving the cooking water in the pot. Set corn aside to cool before slicing kernels from the cobs into a mixing bowl.
• Return the pot of water to a boil; add kale and 1 teaspoon salt. Boil kale until bright green and tender, about 5 minutes; drain and set kale aside to cool. Once cool enough to handle, squeeze as much liquid from the kale as you can. Separate leaves and add to bowl with corn kernels.
• Stir red bell pepper, pineapple juice, olive oil, salsa, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder into the corn and kale.
