WHITE BEAN & KALE SKILLET W/ SUN-DRIED TOMATOES

15 miutes

3-4 servings

INGREDIENTS 1–2 2–3 1 3

tbsp olive oil cloves of garlic, minced cup kale, roughly chopped cups of cooked white beans or butter beans

1 lemon, juiced 1 tbsp tahini 1.5 tsp mustard 5–8 sun-dried tomatoes, chopped salt, pepper

INSTRUCTIONS 1 2 3 4

Heat up oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once skillet and oil is hot, add garlic and cook for about a minute, or until fragrant. Add as much kale as fits in your skillet, and cook shortly, so kale wilts a little. After about a minute, add more kale, and repeat until all kale is in the skillet. Cook kale, stirring occasionally, until kale is fully wilted, tender, and has a few brown and crispy bits, 5-8 minutes. Add beans, lemon juice, tahini, mustard, sun-dried tomatoes, and season with salt and pepper. Mix well, and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until everything is heated through. Enjoy!

Heat up oil and butter in a large pot. Once butter melted, add onion, carrots, celery, and bell pepper, and cook for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onions turn translucent. If making oil-free, simply add 1-2 tablespoons of vegetable stock occasionally, to make sure veggies don’t burn down. Add garlic, smoked paprika, and cayenne, and cook for maximum a minute, until garlic and spices are fragrant. Be careful, spices can burn very quickly. Add potatoes, lentils, vegetable broth, and bay leaves to the soup. Season with salt then cover and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for 20-25 minutes, until lentils and potatoes are cooked. Add vinegar, mustard, maple syrup, and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed. Discard bay leaves. 5.)Serve warm sprinkled with fresh herbs, with bread on the side. Enjoy!

FOR THE BURGERS 4 4 1 1

Add drained chickpeas, walnuts, roughly chopped onion and garlic cloves, tomato puree, liquid smoke, mushroom powder, basil and spices to a food processor and pulse until combined, but not totally smooth. You want to retain some texture. Transfer mixture to a bowl and add vital wheat gluten. Mix well to combine and let sit for 5 minutes. Shape the mixture into 4 patties. Heat up a non-stick skillet and add the patties. Cook each side at medium heat for 5-5 minutes or until golden-brown. Assemble your burgers however you like. I used mayo and mustard on the bottom, then added the patty, cheese, thinly sliced tomato and mixed greens, and ketchup on the top bun. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
