Sausage and Kale Pizza

 Kale on pizza?? Yes, indeed!  My kids and husband loved these quick little pizzas I made for lunch.  I used naan style flat bread topped it with my kale, sausage, pizza sauce and some mozzarella cheese.  Then I heated them in the oven to get crispy and make the cheese melt.   Easy, healthy and quick.  So of you think kale is the last idea for a pizza topping, try this one out.

Ingredients:
1lb Italian sausage (crumbled without casing)
2 cups of shredded kale (no stems)
1 medium onion chopped
mozzarella cheese as needed
pizza sauce as needed
prepared pizza crust or naan
1/8 tsp grated nutmeg
2 cloves garlic grated
red chili flakes to taste
1/4 cup chicken stock (or water and chicken bullion)
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp dried oregano
salt and black pepper to taste


Directions:
Heat 1Tbs of canola oil in a large pan.  Add crumbled sausage, onion and garlic.  Saute until sausage browns.  Then add dried oregano, basil, chili flakes, grated nutmeg, salt, black pepper and some chicken stock.  Cook for 3-5 minutes.

Add shredded kale and cook for 5 more minutes until kale is cooked down. Taste for seasoning.  Add salt and seasoning as needed.

Add a light coating of pizza or jarred spaghetti sauce to pizza crust (remember this is a cooked naan or pre-baked pizza crust).  Next add the sausage and kale mixture and cover with shredded mozzarella cheese.   Bake in a 425 degree oven until cheese melts and crust is crispy.  Slice and serve.  Enjoy.
