     Taste: really good, I didn't think it needed any adjustments to the recipe.
    Serving size: not sure why this is deemed 'hearty'. I followed the recipe to the letter, and I ended up with less than 1 cup total, so two very small servings. I had planned it as my lunch, and it was definitely not a meal - 2/18/13

     Not bad flavor-wise, but not filling enough to stand on its own for a meal. - 1/29/12

     I added some Hot Curry, Turmeric, Granulated Garlic, Onion Powder and Sailor Lemon Salt to jazz it up a bit. Yum! - 3/23/13

     I don't know how to do the rating right -I meant to rate it very good! This recipe was very easy to follow - I times it by 4 to make 8 servings. I have a ton of fresh kale in my garden.

     Om nom nom! Really tasty! I got the beans right, however the kale didn't wilt down enough...only cooked it for about 5 minutes...maybe a few more next time. Otherwise, this is really easy and I recommend. - 7/21/10
