When we were renovating our kitchen I tried some Trader Joe's frozen entrees for easy meals. I found one called Greens, Beans, and Grains that was a stew of kale, tomatoes, peanuts, and chickpeas over couscous. It was delicious and when we got our kitchen back I decided to try to create something similar that would be cheaper and also have slightly larger servings so I would stay satisfied longer. This is what I came up with. I don't know how similar it is to the original, which is no longer available. It is delicious, freezes perfectly, and is easy to make.

If you buy bagged pre-washed kale and pre-minced frozen garlic as I do, the hands-on time of this recipe is only about 15 minutes. This stew can be frozen with cooked rice, couscous or quinoa for future meals that only need to be reheated in the microwave. You can use crunchy or creamy peanut butter.
