I once heard that in Japanese culinary theory, a dish should have at least 5 colors in it. This site says that those colors in particular are white, black, red, green and yellow.
As you can see from my photo, I've sort of succeeded at that in this dish. I've got the cauliflower (white) with bits of very browned onion (black), the chicken (yellow) with carrots (red-ish), and of course the kale (green).
The visual presentation is a little lacking, since I kind of dumped everything out of a food container that I used to bring it to the office. I did layer the food when I put it in to the container, though, which is why the parts are still separate. It's the little victories, really.
And you'll just have to trust me that it tasted pretty awesome.
