Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • Juice of half a lemon
  • 2 tsp arrowroot starch
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper (omit for AIP)
  • 1 lb italian sausage (for AIP)
  • 1/2 medium onion, diced

Instructions

  1. Combine the coconut milk, chicken broth, lemon juice, arrowroot starch and salt and pepper in a bowl and whisk together. Set aside.
  2. Using a large skillet, brown the sausage and crumble with a wooden spoon. Once cooked, set aside and reserve about 2 tbsp of fat in the pan (or add extra fat if needed)
  3. Add the onion to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes or until lightly translucent. Add the garlic and kale and cook until the kale is wilted.
