kale with cashew sauce

This is my version of recipes from Fuhrman's site and fatfreevegan.com.   Check out their versions if you prefer.  

Ingredients:

2 bunches kale (and/or collard greens or other leafy green)
3 oz raw cashews
1/2  large onion
1 Tbsp Dr. Fuhrman's veggizest or other powdered veggie broth or no-salt seasoning (optional)

Blend the onion with some (~1/2 cup) water in a blender--don't need it pureed so 5-10 seconds will do it.   Put it in a pan, add the kale, start cooking.   Blend the cashews with some water and veggie zest.  you probably need 2/3 cup water to have enough volume to blend smoothly.  As the water in the pan boils down (after about 10 minutes),  add the cashew sauce and cook for another 5-10 minutes.   the sauce will thicken.  Add water if needed.   Note:  kale only needs 10-15 minutes to cook, collard greens need 20-30.  The cashews give it a sweet and creamy taste.
