My comments
Mediterranean Morocco cuisine. Serve with your favourite Vegetarian entree, grilled Seafood, or Chicken Kabob.

Kale (Chips!!!)

I turned these 2 Bunches of Kale into a Batch of Kale Chips!!!!

Dinosaur Kale works best, but here I think I used Lacinato (?).

*Wash off all the dirt. *Chop Kale into bite-sizes (they shrink in dehydrator!); I remove the Thick Stem and just use the LEAFY part *Squeeze juice of 1/2 Lemon over the Kale (in a Bowl). Add Sea Salt and grind it into kale leaves with your hands for 3-5 minutes - this softens it. *Add enough Olive Oil to coat the kale to moisten (Don't use more than 2oz!! - the afterproduct will be oily)

Pop those babies in the dehydrator @ 118degrees(F) for about 4 hours :)

Delicious!!! I ate these in just 2 days (it was a LOT of chips); my husband, family, and co-workers enjoyed tasting them too! :)

Tempeh Tacos

Tempeh (fermented soy beans) w/ Soy Chorizo (from Trader Joes; to give better meat-like consistency & spice) used as a Meat Substitue :)
