Very tasty! Loved the flavour combinations for this recipe. We are trying to include a variety of veggies in our diet and this one fit the bill.
Definitely saving this one!
AMAZING. I have made this twice now, and added in the “Lazy girl Chicken Thighs” instead of the chickpeas to make this a main course. It is a keeper. I never knew the trick of massaging the kale with olive oil, but it really helps take the….edge… off the kale. I adore your recipes! They are becoming a staple in our house. Thanks so much for sharing.
