Kale with chickpeas, soy, chilli and garlic
I've adapted this recipe from The River Cottage Diary I was given for Christmas. There may be a few more adaptations throughout the year! You can have this healthy eating dish as a light supper for 2, use is as a side dish for a nice curry, or make a full meal by placing on a bed of brown or wild rice.
Remember Kale is a great source of Vitamin K (helping blood clotting and protect cells against oxidative stress), A and C - its also a cruciferous vegetables which is perfect for protecting against cancer.
