Start with fresh kale, then add some spicy garlic, colorful sweet peppers and tasty leeks and, voila, delish!! My hot pepper flakes are a fun addition that you can adjust to your passion for heat. The beautiful rainbow of vegetables in this dish is a delight to your eyes as well as your palate!

Kale is a member of the cruciferous family of vegetables. It is one of nature’s best sources of vitamins A, C and K, and a good source of potassium, iron and phosphorus. My inspiration for Spicy Garlic Kale with Sautéed Peppers comes from a bulletin sent out by a local CSA (Community Supported Agriculture).

    This is a beautiful, flavorful dish! We were delighted to find a way to really enjoy kale. We used orange and yellow bell peppers that brought out a surprising sweetness and not one hint of bitter. Great coupled with fresh bread and/or a tasty grain!
