Directions: |
Directions:Steam kale and carrots over boiling water for 2-3 minutes. Caution: much longer and it will be too wimpy to be respectable-still edible, though. I steamed one bunch for 4-5 minutes and another for 2 1/2 minutes and mixed the two together (you'll want to drain it if you steam it too long - gets soggy in my opinion). Transfer to a large serving bowl. In a small bowl, whisk peanut butter, water, tamari, rice vinegar and agave nectar. Serve separately with small side bowls of red pepper flakes and sesame seeds. Serves 4 supposedly.

Notes: “The response to this has been a surprise from parents when their non-veggie eating kids love it - and have seconds. It’s generally recognized Kale is the easiest of the green super foods to get people to try. Kale is remarkably healthy for you. I made some modifications to the dressing because I thought it was too thick. Natural ingredients are critical here or else it wouldn't be very healthy, particularly for diabetics and pre-diabetics. Organic goes without saying in my book but I just said it, so there you are. I think you could use the dressing for practically any vegetable you want kids to eat.” Mark
