Ingredients (use vegan versions):

• 1 pound of kale
• 1 large can of chickpeas
• 4 cloves of garlic
• 4 tablespoon of roasted almonds
• 4 slices of diced slices of French Italian vegan bread
• 4 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil
• 4 tablespoon of vinegar
• salt

Directions:

Boil kale in a pressure cooker until very tender.
In a large pan, add the oil, and fry the garlic (finely
sliced) and the diced vegan bread. Get these
ingredients appart. Add the vinegar, cooked kale and the chickpeas (rinsed).
Cook for two minutes. If you need to add more salt, now is the
time.
Serve warm, putting the fried garlic and vegan bread
over it.

Try it with a Spanish salad (roman lettuce, yellow onion,
tomato, green olives, vinegar, olive oil and salt), a large
piece of vegan bread and a glass of vegan red wine.

(Excuse my English! This is a traditional Spanish recipe
from Al Andalus (Andalucía))

I recently made this recipe and it is absolutely delicious
but very quick and easy to make! A variation is adding
some unsweetened shredded coconut which goes well with the
peanut and ginger flavours.

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

• 1 tablespoon oil
• 1 teaspoon vegan mustard seeds
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 1 tablespoon grated/chopped gingerroot
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1 large (28 oz) can diced tomatoes

• 1 teaspoon (or more!) curry paste
• salt to taste

Directions:

Heat oil in large pot over medium heat and stir fry the
mustard and cumin seeds until they pop. Add onion, ginger,
and garlic and stir fry until lightly colored. Add
tomatoes with juice, beans (drained and rinsed), and 1 tsp
curry paste (to start!). Simmer for about 20 minutes or
until thick and saucy. Keep adding curry paste to taste
during the cooking. Salt to taste. Patak’s Madras curry
paste is my favorite but other type work well too. This
is easy, healthy, and really addictive! Serve with rice,
pita, toast, chapattis, nan, straight from the pot….
