I thought I would share a recipe post of a typical meal prep night for my family and I. Most people are fine with their protein choices of chicken, salmon, tilapia or other lean meats but struggle with what to make for their side dishes. Remember this picture on Instagram a couple weeks ago? I'll now highlight how to make the perfect side dish to accompany your protein on a low-carb day!
KALE STIR FRY
Prep time: 10 mins
Cook time: 15 mins
Total time: 25 mins
Ingredients
- 1 bundle kale
- 3/4 cup pine nuts
- 2 bell peppers
- 2 cups small carrots
- 1 white onion
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp assorted spices
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley or coriander (chopped)
- Fry pine nuts in a pan on medium heat with 1 tsp of olive oil. Steam carrots in pot.
- Wash, prep and sauté peppers, onions and kale with 2 tbsp of oil and spices in a separate pot.
- Once the carrots are done, add them in the stir fry along with the lemon juice. Add in fresh parsley or coriander at the last minute and place in a serving dish.
- Spread the fried pine nuts over the stir fry along with the remaining tbsp of olive oil. Let cool before packing for meal prep or serve immediately for dinner! Enjoy.
