August 17, 2015

I had ameliorate luck browsing 101 Cookbooks, where Michael zeroed inwards on a recipe for pan-fried corona beans in addition to kale containing a small-scale banking corporation complaint that Swanson was "confident y'all could create this training amongst gnocchi... inwards house of beans".

We bought a small-scale bunch of kale on Mon nighttime in addition to went amongst it. This is a unmarried pan saute of lightly browned (not boiled!) gnocchi in addition to shredded kale layered amongst the piquant flavours of walnuts, garlic, lemon in addition to parmesan. It's wintertime comfort nutrient that's assembled amongst piddling fuss, precisely what I needed at the destination of an unusually long workday.
