Dijon Steamed Kale And Veggies

• 1 whole onion, chopped
• 5-10 cloves garlic (to taste), peeled and chopped
• 1 bunch kale, broken into bite-sized pieces
• 1 bunch broccoli, chopped
• 1 bell pepper, any color, chopped
• 2-3 other veggies (snow peas, green beans, asparagus, eggplant, etc.)
• 1-2 whole tomatoes, chopped
• 4 tablespoons Dijon mustard (or to taste)
• 4 tablespoons rice vinegar (or to taste)
• 4 tablespoons Dr. Fuhrman's VegiZest
• 1-2 cups cooked black beans
• 1 can artichoke hearts, rinsed to remove brine (optional)
• 1/4-1/2 avocado, chopped (optional)

1. Place all ingredients in a pressure cooker or other pot. For optimal cooking of the vegetables when using a pressure cooker, the best method is to place the things that take longer to cook at the bottom and those that cook quickly at the top: i.e. garlic and onion at the very bottom, then the kale above that, then the broccoli, and so on, moving down the list, placing the spices on top. No addition of water is necessary if using the pressure cooker: Simply put the lid on, lock the cooker, turn on the heat, and wait for the button to pop. Stir, let cool for about 5 minutes, and eat. If using a normal pot, stir occasionally to ensure the vegetables don't burn, until thoroughly cooked and flavors have blended. (Either way approximately 30 minutes.)
2. This recipe can really be done with any mix of vegetables. The black beans and avocado together go particularly well with the Dijon. Another option is to do "Tuscan" Veggies, replacing the Dijon and rice vinegar with 1 can of tomato sauce and adding Italian seasonings, such as oregano, basil, and thyme. Artichokes and cannelloni beans are particularly good with the Tuscan style greens, and a little white wine vinegar and/or lemon juice can add a nice flavor as well. Carrot juice added to either a Dijon or tomato sauce is another option. The variations on the basic recipe are endless.
