Sauteed Kale With Coconut Milk Food

COCONUT CREAMED KALE

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons coconut oil in a Dutch oven. Add 2 diced shallots, 1 tablespoon minced ginger, 2 minced garlic cloves and 1/2 sliced seeded Fresno chile; cook until softened. Stir in 10 ounces chopped kale, one 13.5-ounce can coconut milk and 1/4 cup water; season with salt and pepper. Cover and simmer until tender, 12 to 14 minutes. Stir in the juice of 1/2 lime. Top with fried onions.

COCONUT KALE

Steps:

• Wash the kale thoroughly and cut out the stalks. Cut the wide leaves into strips the width of the small leaves.
• In a large pot set over a low flame, heat the coconut milk until it is thoroughly mixed and just lukewarm. Transfer to a large, nonreactive bowl and add the remaining ingredients. Stir in the kale, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
• Heat a grill or a cast-iron grill pan over high heat. Remove the kale from the refrigerator and stir to make sure the leaves are well covered in marinade. Using metal tongs, place the kale on the grill in a single layer. Cook for 45 to 60 seconds, or until the leaves are sizzling, then turn over and grill the other side for another 45 to 60 seconds, or until the leaves have visibly softened. Serve immediately.

SAUTEED KALE WITH COCONUT MILK

Steps:

• Wash kale and shake almost dry. Leave a little water clinging to the leaves. Remove tough stems and coarsely chop or tear the leaves.
• Mix garlic, ras el hanout, and salt together in a small bowl with a fork.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 of the kale. Stir until starting to steam. Add remaining kale and stir again. Cook until leaves are dark green and wilting, about 5 minutes. Push leaves to one side of the skillet. Add coconut oil to the empty side and let melt. Pour ras el hanout mixture into the pool of oil and stir until fragrant, about 20 seconds.
• Pour coconut milk into the skillet and stir well. Saute until sauce starts to thicken, 4 to 5 minutes.
