Kale + Brie + Harvest Grains

What do you do when you buy a wheel of brie for a recipe, and then only need a few oz, and then have the rest left over?? This recipe came together when attempting to clean out my fridge, and it was tasty, and now I have leftovers for lunch for the rest of the week, and that was also my goal, so YA! Cranberries and brie go together like peanut butter and jelly (yum!). And for some reason when I eat craisins I also like to mix in celery. And well, harvest grains from Trader Joes is good with anything so TADA!

Level of Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients
1 bunch of kale, ripped into small pieces, rinsed and dried
1/4 cup craisins
1 1/4 cup uncooked Trader Joe's Harvest Grains
1 bullion cube, any flavor
2 stalks of celery, chopped small
Green Onion, chopped small
2 oz light brie, chipped into small cubes using a sharp cheese knife
Salt + pepper to taste


InstructionsBring a saucepan to a boil with your bullion cube, and cook Harvest Grains according to package directions (about 10 minutes). Meanwhile, get out a mixing bowl and add your craisins, celery, kale and brie (in that order). When grains are cooked put them on top of the veggie/cheese mixture and mix. Let the mixture cool for about 5 minutes, allowing the kale to cook a bit and the cheese to melt.  Enjoy!


Tip
Kale can be really dirty - so make sure you rinse it! A salad spinner comes in really handy for this.  Just rip, rinse and spin for delightfully clean (and not soggy) lettuce every time!
