Garlicky Kale Quesadillas

hi everyone! I second what has been said before, and I think this is a great idea. Thank you Cyndi for getting this going!

So here is a new recipe we tried recently, originally from the Penny Cluse Cafe. This recipe is for two, I would double it for a family.

1 large bunch of kale, destemmed
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1/2 cup green onions, minced
pinch of cayenne pepper
salt to taste
6 corn tortillas
3/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled

Bring a large pot of slated water to boil. Drop kale leaves in water and blanch for about 5 minutes or until just tender. Run cold water over kale and squeeze out.
Chop kale up into small pieces.
In a saute pan, saute olive oil, garlic, green onions, cayenne pepper, and salt. Let cool and add kale. Mix together.
Place a flat pan or grill over mediu heat with a small amount of olive oil. Place a corn tortilla directly on the pan. Spread 1/4 kale mixture and 1/4 feta cheese. Place second tortilla on top of mixture and repeat. Top with a third corn tortilla. Warm the quesadilla on each side for about 5 minutes, pressing down occasionally. Remove and cut into quarters to serve. Repeat.

Enjoy, Louise
