Garlic Butter Kale Rice
Report
A great side that combines rice with loads of kale - but you'd never guess! Everyone loves the buttery, garlicky flavour! Scrunching the kale with olive oil and salt before tossing into the rice is a great trick for making the kale tastier and softer.

Instructions
Kale:
- Place kale in a large bowl. Drizzle over oil and sprinkle with a small pinch of salt and pepper.
- Use hands to scrunch for 30 seconds then set aside until rice is cooked.
Rice:
- Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium high heat. Add garlic and saute for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add rice and broth, cover with lid. Bring to gentle simmer then immediately turn heat down to low or medium low, so the liquid is simmering very gently.
- Cook for 12 - 15 minutes until all liquid is absorbed.
- Remove from heat, then quickly toss all the kale on top of the rice, then clamp lid back on.
- Rest for 10 minutes.
- Remove lid, stir wilted kale through rice.
- Adjust salt and pepper to taste and stir through extra butter if desired.
- Transfer to serving bowl and garnish with almonds or pecans, if using.
Notes
- Hold a kale stalk by the stem, then run an enclosed fist up the stalk to rip the leaves off. Then chop into bite size pieces.
