Ingredients
-
Large stock pot -
Blender
Large onion, chopped
Garlic clove, minced
Canola oil and butter.
Large 1# bag of cleaned and trimmed kale
6 mushrooms, sliced
1/2 head cauliflower, chopped into florets
3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed
2T garam masala spice blend - found in grocery stores
(essential in indian dishes)
Salt, to taste. I use about 2teaspoons total
Greek Yogurt, 1/4 cup or the small individual container
1c frozen green beans (add at the end)
Tips
Add spice blend directly into oil when sautéing the onion to bloom the spices and you get the full flavor of each spice in the blend.
Directions
In a large stock pot;
Saute onion in oil and half the butter until soft and translucent - 5minutes
Add in garlic and garam masala and stir until very fragrant - 1minute
Add in all of the kale and the chicken broth, reserving 1/2 a cup.
Place a lid and simmer on med-low for 15minutes.
Once kale is tender and wilted - place in to blender with the plastic center removed from the lid and covered with a kitchen towel (for steam to escape).
Blend until fully pureed and smooth. (using reserve broth)
Once smooth, add in the greek yogurt and blend once more.
Return puree back to the pot and add in remaining butter. Stir in the vegetables and cook on medium low until cauliflower is tender - 15mins
Once cauliflower is tender, cube up chicken into 1" cubes and put into pot. Along with the green beans. Stir until immersed and cover cooking until chicken is done - 10 minutes.
Serve in a bowl like a thick stew, over spaghetti squash or over 'riced' cauliflower. Delicious and flavorful!
