Kale, peas and spinach cream with goat cheese

Juana, author of La Cocina de Babel , brings us a healthy recipe that is perfect for the cold months: cream of kale and peas with goat cheese. Inspired by a Donna Hay recipe, it is in a delicious cream that you will want to repeat over and over again!

When I was little, on cold winter nights, my mother always served us delicious hot soup accompanied by fresh bread and butter, nothing fancy and complicated: mixed vegetables and greens based on what was in the fridge, which made They were never exactly the same and gave rise to comments such as "what a good mommy!", or "I don't like it at all today", to which she replied "you're going to eat it the same"... She inherited that habit of My great-grandmother and I, as my mother's good daughter, keep her in my own home.

But time passes and times change. Now even a humble soup or cream can become something sophisticated by combining vegetables and flavors that until relatively recently were unknown. This is the case of kale, a vegetable that belongs to the cabbage family, low in calories and rich in minerals and vitamins, which has made it a true "healthy" star and the protagonist of the cream that I bring you today. : a recipe from the famous Donna Hay that I have adapted a bit to my personal taste, I have cooked in my beautiful Emile Henry “faitout” and I hope you enjoy it on some cold winter night.
