Kale with Shiitake Mushrooms and Chickpeas

http://mariamarlowe.com/2012/12/warm-spicy-kale-with-shitake-mushrooms/

We sort of made this.  Except we didn't have chickpeas or onion.  And I put in loads of sliced garlic.  And probably extra kale.

Ingredients
 
1 tbs. coconut oil
1/2 of a red onion (about 2 oz.), diced
2 cloves of garlic, chopped
1 tsp. turmeric
1 tsp. cumin
1/4 tsp. cayenne
1/2 inch piece of ginger, grated or minced
1 yellow or orange bell pepper, diced
10 shiitake mushroom caps, sliced thinly
1 1/4 cup cooked chickpeas
1 head kale, sliced into 1 cm ribbons
Salt and black pepper to taste

   
Instructions
 
Heat enough oil to cover the bottom of a pan over medium low heat.

Add the onion and garlic and cook for 1 minute before adding the spices. Let cook an additional minute before adding ginger, bell pepper, shitake mushrooms, and chickpeas. Cook for another 2 minutes, or until the mushroom get glossy and the peppers start to get soft.

Add in the kale and cover, for 1 minute. It will start to shrink and turn bright green. You may have to add in batches, as it starts off with a lot of volume, but quickly shrinks down. Stir the kale, and cover an additional 2 minutes or so, until all of it is uniformly bright green and soft. Remove from heat, add salt and pepper to taste.
