Pork Braised with Sautéed Kale, Chickpeas and Tomatoes
Use our braising sauce to put a delicious meal on the table with minimal effort. Lacinato kale and tender chickpeas give our healthy handcrafted sauce its rich, hearty character. The greens are sautéed in extra-virgin olive oil, then simmered with tomatoes, chickpeas, roasted garlic and white wine. Fragrant herbs and whole-grain mustard lend bright flavor. You can prepare the dish with chicken thighs instead of pork shoulder.
