"Creamed" Kale

Serves 4

Nondairy milk and cashews combine to create a creamy sauce for kale or your favorite leafy greens.

Ingredients

1/2 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
1 white onion, finely chopped
1 cup unsweetened soy milk or other nondairy milk
1/4 cup raw cashews
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast (optional)
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon mellow white miso
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
Pinch of red pepper flakes
4 cups chopped kale or other dark, leafy green

Method

Heat broth in a large skillet over medium heat. Add white onion and cook until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a blender or food processor, add soy milk, cashews, nutritional yeast, onion powder, miso, nutmeg and pepper flakes and purée until smooth.

Transfer blended mixture back to skillet and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Stir in kale and continue simmering, tossing often until kale is just tender, about 5 minutes.
