Kale, Chorizo, Sweet Potato Salad


The kale/chorizo/sweet potato combo was first inspired by the Kale Chorizo Soup http://carvedblock.blogspot.com/2013/06/kale-chorizo-soup.html, but my friend Ross and I have been experimenting with this format for quite some time. This round, I heated a couple onions and some garlic in about half a stick of butter for five minutes, then added water and a couple pounds of thinly-chopped sweet potatoes. I covered this and cooked it for about twenty minutes. In another pan, I mixed a pound of sliced chorizos with about a pound of chopped kale and some green peppers and cooked it for about fifteen to twenty minutes. Once the potatoes were soft, I mixed everything together in a large bowl, added two "logs" of goat cheese (probably about 8 oz. each?) and stirred it all together. It's pretty hard to go wrong using the kale+meat+sweet potato+cheese combination.
