Sausage and Kale Pizza

Yum

How am I going to end Kale Week?  How about 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.  Some of the kale even got a little crispy so it provided a great texture.   So if 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
2 cloves garlic grated
red chili flakes to taste
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp dried oregano
salt and black pepper to taste


Directions:
Start to brown sausage.  Then add onion and garlic.  Saute until sausage browns.  Then add dried oregano, basil, chili flakes,  salt and black pepper.  Cook for 3-5 minutes.
Next add shredded kale and saute for 2 more minutes.  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 on a baking sheet in a 425 degree oven until cheese melts and crust is crispy.  Slice and serve.  Enjoy.
