This sautéed kale and green beans recipe is one of my own. I've seen loads of sautéed kale recipes online, and have made it in the past. My original plan when buying the kale was to sauté it on it's own, but then decided I'd combine the 2 vegetables.
A delicious and versatile side dish...the vegetables are full of flavour with the beans still having a bit of crunch. Enjoy as a side with a roast dinner or with any pan fried or grilled meat or fish.
Tips
- Get ahead - the beans can be blanched earlier in the day. Cool and then keep in the fridge until needed at step 2.
- This sautéed kale and green beans recipe is easily adapted if you're cooking for less or more people.
