Cooking Kale with Beer

If you're a fan of beer, perhaps you might like to cook it with your greens.  The inspiration behind this dish came from my sister's trip to Montreal a few years ago.  She ate something similar at a restaurant and thought it had interesting flavours and looked like it would be easy to make.

Here are the ingredients for this dish:
- One bunch of kale
- A few cloves of garlic (make sure you take out the white stem in the center of each clove to reduce the outcome of gas. A trick I learned from one of my cooking classes... haha)
- Olive oil
- Salt
- Paprika
- 1 can of beer
- Additional seasoning of your choice (optional).  We used "Slap Ya Mama" Cajun seasoning, which was something my sister picked up when she was in New Orleans.


This is actually a much overdue post as this dish was created last year when my sister hosted a cousins get-together. I don't quite remember the step by step instructions anymore.  Here are some pictures to give you an idea of how it was done.

Aaaaaand... it's done!  The final masterpiece :)

These were the other dishes that we had that night.  We also made the baked potatoes. My cousins brought over tandoori chicken (yum!) and a salad.  It was a good night.
