We've been getting a lot of questions about Magnesium for people with MS. See some great information about Magnesium below. But first here's a recipe containing a great source of Magnesium: Kale.
Heat oil over medium heat in a large saute pan. Add onion and leeks and saute for 5 minutes. Then add olives and 1/2 cup broth, stir, cover, and sautee for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally and replacing cover. Onions should be quite tender at this point. Add greens on top of onions, add remaining broth, and cover. Sautee for about 8 minutes, stirring often, until greens are tender. Then remove cover and let cool for 3-5 more minutes, allowing some of the liquid to evaporate. Remove from heat and sprinkle with red pepper flakes, lemon and mint for garnish. Serve warm.
