Kale and Sausage

My mom, who is on a paleo diet, really likes a certain website called Savory Lotus that focuses on using real food in your cooking.  I looked at her list of recipes and, to be honest, wasn't stimulated by them.  There was one though, that I thought I would try called Kale and Sausage and she bills it as a 15 minute meal.  I made it tonight and it took me about 30 minutes from when I started washing the kale to the dinner being on the table.  Still, I'm always looking for a good 30 minute meal.
First I washed and "boned" and cut the kale.  I cut it into strips and didn't worry about how big they were since it was going to be steamed.  At this point I was a little concerned about it all fitting into my pan since it was clearly overflowing and this is my largest saucepan.  

I took a leap of faith and smashed the lid on and turned it on.  

Magically, when it was finished steaming it had cooked down so no worries on overflow.  

Simultaneously, I cut the sausage up.  I used Cajun Style Pork Andouille sausage.  I did not need to use a teaspoon of butter for sauteing it.  

The finished product all together.  I used a mixture of soy sauce and olive oil instead of coconut aminos.  I ate leftover broccoli as well since I knew that a little kale and sausage wouldn't be enough food for me.  If I still had a carb serving then I probably would make some bread item to go with this.  When my husband saw it, the first thing he said was, "It looks like spinach."  I assured him it was kale.  Apparently, his mom used to make frozen spinach in some way that he didn't like.  He described it as 'squishy.'  Well,  I wouldn't like steamed frozen spinach either (if that's what it was).  I assured him multiple times and even described what real spinach looks like.  He tasted it and he went for seconds.  Yay!  So now I have found a non-carb alternative to sausage and couscous, a dish that we enjoy regularly.  Bye, bye couscous, hello healthy kale!
