Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • 1 bunch dinosaur kale
  • 1 clove garlic (crushed)
  • 1/3 cup cashews
  • 1 Tbsp butter
  • 1 lemon

Instructions

  • Wash and destalk kale and cut into thin stripes. Finely chop garlic.
  • Heat a large pan over medium-low heat, once hot melt 1/2 Tbsp butter in it and add cashews. Stir constantly to avoid burning and keep the temperature low. Toast for about 2-3 minutes until golden. Set aside.
  • Keep the pan on the cooktop, add 1/2 Tbsp butter and sauté garlic in it for approximately 20 seconds, then add chopped kale and crushed garlic. Fry until soft (about 3-5 minutes).
  • Add rice and lemon zest and stir until rice is reheated and well combined with kale. Add salt if needed.
  • Turn off heat, squeeze the juice of the lemon over it, top with the buttered cashews and serve immediately.
