This is a simple any-time meal courtesy of 101cookbooks.com that is quick
and versatile.
I especially like it for its skin enhancing properties: Vitamin A
in the kale and egg, B vitamins in the brown rice, vitamin E in the olive
oil. You can substitute spinach or chard for the kale. Za'atar is a
blend of herbs, sesame seeds and salt. If you are unfamiliar with
Za'atar, you can substitute any of your favourite herbs or spices.

In a large skillet or pot, heat the olive oil
over medium heat. Add the kale and a couple pinches of salt. Sauté until the
kale softens a bit and brightens, just a minute or so. Stir in the rice, and
cook until the rice is hot. If your rice is on the dry side, you might have to
add a small splash of water.
Serve the kale rice topped with all of the
following: capers, poached egg, yogurt drizzled with olive oil, and plenty of
za'atar and toasted sesame seeds.
