Sautéed Kale with Spicy Chipotle Mayo

Using one of Primal Kitchen's most mouthwatering condiments, Local Roots proudly presents: an easy weeknight side (or main!) that packs a punch and takes almost no time to put together. This zesty mayo is bolstered by the distinct spiciness of chipotle powder and a note of lime, making it an excellent foil to the hearty leafiness provided by the star of the show: kale. If you're feeling fancy, you can opt to add either diced green apples or sautéed mushrooms to your finished dish. Trying to keep it simple? Not a problem! This recipe was crafted with versatility in mind and can shine in more ways than one! In fact, you've even got the option to make this a zero-waste dish! Just be sure to save the kale stems, and you'll be well on your way to a balanced vegetable broth perfect for later use.  

 

Ingredients

2 Tbsp. Primal Kitchen chipotle lime mayo

Directions

1. Rinse kale, cut into 1 inch pieces and dice kale stems into ½ inch bits.

2. Heat oil in a pan. Add kale leaves and stems, stir kale in pan and cook for a few minutes until kale is soft but develops a nice crispiness.
