Sesame Kale and Lentils

Ingredients

1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 Tbsp toasted sesame oil
1 large onion, peeled and finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
3 Tbsp sesame seeds, toasted
About 1/2 lb fresh kale (10-12 oz), baby kale is what we used (or if using large bunch, preferably lacinto, all stems removed and then coarsely chopped)
1.5 cups cooked black lentils (if canned, rinse well)
Unrefined seasalt to taste

Directions

Heat combined oils in a large saucepan on medium heat.
Add onion and garlic and saute about 5 minutes, until just tender, about 80% cooked.
Add kale and ‘tame’ into the pan to coat all bits with oil.
Once volume is reduced, sprinkle with sesame seeds, blend well, and continue to saute, mixing around to allow all pieces to cook evenly, until kale is tender but still a bit chewy.
Add lentils and stir well just to warm thoroughly. Add seasalt to taste.
