Kale With Chickpeas in Peanut Sauce
"This dish was inspired by Masamba, a traditional African dish of kale, ground peanuts and tomatoes. I changed it to be a little easier to make and more in keeping with my Nutritarian eating style. You can reduce prep time by using pre-chopped or frozen kale and frozen onions."

In 2011, I saw a PBS Special, 3 Steps to Incredible Health by Dr. Joel Fuhrman. It inspired me to change to a Nutritarian cooking style, which focuses on the nutrient density of the foods you eat.
Since that time, I have been collecting recipes. I have found a few recipes ready to go but most of them were either too complicated for everyday use or needed some changes to fit with this eating style.
