Curried Kale With Coconut

This was an easy dish to make and was full of flavor. I added cannelini beans to bulk it up a bit and it was a tasty dish to bring to a potluck that took less than 30 minutes to make.

Excellent substitute. Canola oil is in everything, unfortunately, because it is cheap. People think it's healthy because of its Omega 3 profile is good. But consider that it comes from a GMO plant. Created from rape seed which gave us mustard gas in WWI. In 1995 Monsanto created a GMO version and today over 90% of Canola oil is GMO. It comes from Canada, thus "Canola" oil. There is no canola plant. According to the Weston A. Price Foundation: "Like all modern vegetable oils, canola goes through the process of refining, bleaching and degumming, all of which involve high temperatures or chemicals of questionable safety. The omega 3 fatty acids easily become rancid and foul smelling when subjected to oxygen and high temperatures. Then it must be deodorized. The deodorization process removes a large portion of the omega 3 fatty acids turning them into trans fat. Avoid hydorgenated oils like the plague."

This curried kale recipe made a perfect side with a braised chicken breast lightly seasoned with cumin. Substituting heart healthy coconut oil for canola to cook it added to the mellow curry flavor and further complemented the sometimes sharp flavor of the kale.
