Kale, Squash and Mustard

This is a great side and the mustard goes really well with the squash and kale. Add a bit of honey or maple syrup for indulgence.

Method 

Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees C. Toss the squash in the olive oil and roast, until beginning to soften - about 10 minutes.

Add the squash to a pan with the kale, stock, mustard, salt and pepper, bay leaves, honey or maple syrup (optional) and cook, stirring occationally, for another 10 minutes until the juices form the stock have been soaked up and the kale is tender.

Serve as a side.
