Sweet Potato Kale Hash

Five minutes in the morning to whip up something quick to feed my body with something nutrient rich is ultra important and this Sweet Potato Kale Hash works like a charm.  It's loaded with vitamins, it's filling and has a great flavor that is very satisfying.

I love sweet potatoes and try to eat them frequently without adding cinnamon, sugar and butter.  They can be diced up quickly, sauteed and then added to salads or mixed with other vegetables for a quick meal or side dish.

This recipe was a quick mix up one morning and it's becoming one of my favorites to keep me full till lunchtime.

Sweet Potato Kale Hash

2 Tbsp Coconut Oil
1 Sweet Potato, Peeled & Diced
1/4 Cup Red Onion, Sliced
1/2 tsp Cumin Seeds
1/2 tsp Coriander Seeds
1/2 tsp Fennel Seeds
1 Cup Baby Kale, Chopped
Splash Sherry Vinegar

In a medium skillet over medium high heat, add Coconut Oil and heat.  Add Red Onion, Cumin, Coriander and Fennel Seeds and let the seeds bloom in the oil and the Red Onion start to soften.  

Add diced Sweet Potato and saute until cooked with a little firmness.  (I prefer to cook mine like this and not cook it to soft.  I like the mouth feel of a little more texture).

Add Baby Kale and toss around a bit to soften the Kale.  Then add a splash of Sherry Vinegar to elevate the flavor. It's a great combination with the sweetness of the potatoes.  Season with Himalayan Pink Sea Salt and fresh cracked Black Pepper. 

That's it - Super Easy, Really Flavorful and Good for you!
