SPICY RICE AND KALE
Low-fat, healthy, and delicious!! We serve this as a side dish but you can make it a main dish by adding cooked meats or top it with your favorite gumbo, jambalaya, red beans, stroganoff or stir-fry....you're only limited by your imagination. I really encourage you to use kale but you can substitute fresh spinach if kale is not available. I never use store-bought cajun seasoning (to salty and not spicy enough for us). There are some great cajun seasoning recipes on this site and you can control the salt. Kale is VERY nutritious and this is another way to sneak veggies into your meals. You can also make it vegetarian by using the vegetable broth. We love it!

Tips:
- Choose the right rice: For this recipe, long-grain rice is the best choice because it cooks up fluffy and separate, making it ideal for a pilaf-style dish.
- Toast the rice before cooking: Toasting the rice in a little oil before adding the liquid helps to bring out its nutty flavor and give the dish a more complex flavor profile.
- Use flavorful broth: The broth you use to cook the rice will greatly impact the flavor of the dish, so choose a broth that you enjoy the taste of. Vegetable broth or chicken broth are both good options.
- Add vegetables and spices to taste: This recipe is a great way to use up leftover vegetables, so feel free to add whatever you have on hand. Some good options include chopped carrots, celery, onions, broccoli, or zucchini. You can also add spices like cumin, coriander, or paprika to give the dish a more flavorful kick.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Before serving, garnish the dish with fresh herbs like cilantro, parsley, or mint to add a pop of color and freshness.
