Peppery kale takes wonderfully to a spicy tomato sauce, balanced and mellowed in the slow cooker as it never would be if you simmered it on the stove. Using a mix of diced and crushed tomatoes amps up the flavor and texture of the sauce. Diced tomatoes are tomato chunks packed in tomato juice that hold their shape well even after cooking while crushed tomatoes are whole peeled tomatoes that have been crushed into a coarse consistency and don’t hold their shape, ideal for the base of a sauce. You can dial the heat up or down depending on your spice tolerance.
