Lentils, Potatoes and Kale with Goat Cheese

A nice way of combining vegetables to create a complete meal or a substantial side dish. The potatoes and onion are sautéed until crisp and then the kale is added with a bit of stock and cooked until the kale is just wilted. I then add some cooked lentils and continue cooking just until flavours are merged and liquids are absorbed. Serve the dish immediately as the kale will lose it bright green colour if you let it sit for too long. The goat cheese is optional and you can certainly try other cheeses as well, such as feta or Parmesan.
