Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Sautéed Kale and Spinach with Toasted Cashews.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
While the oven warms up, grab a bowl and toss in your cashews along with a tablespoon of olive oil.
Step 3
Give them a good mix to ensure every nut is nicely coated.
Step 4
Next, spread those cashews out on a baking sheet, making sure they have some space to breathe.
Step 5
Pop them into the oven and let them toast for about 5 to 10 minutes.
Step 6
Remember to shake the baking sheet occasionally to ensure even toasting, and keep a watchful eye on them—they should turn golden brown and fragrant, but we don’t want any burnt offerings here! Once they’re perfectly toasted, set them aside to cool.
Step 7
Now, let’s move to the skillet.
Step 8
Heat up the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
Step 9
Add in your minced onion and sauté it for about 5 minutes, or until it becomes soft and translucent.
Step 10
The aroma will start to fill your kitchen, and you’ll know you’re on the right track! Next, stir in the minced garlic and let it cook for another minute until it releases its delightful fragrance.
Step 11
It’s time to add some greens! Toss in the kale, cover the skillet, and let it cook for about 7 minutes.
Step 12
Stir occasionally, and watch as the kale wilts and softens beautifully.
Step 13
After that, add the spinach to the mix, sprinkle in some sea salt and white pepper to taste, and continue cooking for another 3 minutes until the spinach is just wilted.
Step 14
Finally, it’s time for the grand finale! Gently fold the toasted cashews into the kale and spinach mixture, allowing all those flavors to mingle together.
Step 15
Serve this vibrant dish warm, and enjoy the delightful crunch of the cashews paired with the tender greens.
Step 16
This recipe not only nourishes the body but also brings a burst of color and flavor to your table!.
