Sometimes I make Noodles with Peanut Sauce because one of my favorite resturaunts makes this dish with grilled chicken and an "asian peanut sauce" and it is my most favorite stuff in the world. So sometimes I try and recreate it at home. It is so ridiculously easy you will wonder why I go out and pay for it to be made for me. I use this peanut sauce recipe and then spice it up to my mood.
When I made it recently, I decided to add some Thai Greens to it, I used the recipe that is highlighted in this month's pineapple profile.
I absolutely adore greens, but I have never ever made them before at home. So this was an adventure. Lucky for all of us, I documented the whole thing. Here are the onions and garlic sauteing in the olive oil, I wish you could smell this. It was divine!
Then I added the whole can of pineapple and as soon as it was steaming, I added my chopped kale.
When it was about 3/4 as cooked as I wanted, I added my peanut sauce and spices. ( I used my peanut sauce I had made for the noodles instead of adding straight peanut butter - because that is what I had.)
Here is the finished dish. It was so delicious. It was my first time cooking greens, and my first time eating kale. The experiment was a wild success and 3 of the 4 kids ate it. That is a win around here. Plus, it was delicious and the whole dinner rivaled my favorite restaurant.
