Chef tips
To keep the kale or Swiss chard bright green, wait to add them to the pan until the onions and tomatoes have fully softened into a rich, thick sauce. For an extra boost of flavor, add half a teaspoon of cumin or turmeric along with the tomatoes. Kids love helping out by tearing the leaves by hand—it's a fun way to get them involved!
