Kale SaagIngredients (use vegan versions): 1 bunch kale
1 jalapeno or serrano pepper, fresh
few sprigs of fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground coriander
ginger
lemon juice
olive oil
salt
Directions:Note before beginning: This only makes one serving, even though it takes AN ENTIRE BUNCH OF KALE. The kale really cooks down, especially once you puree it.
Remove the kale stems, chop, and steam the kale with the chopped jalapeno and the cilantro. When soft, remove from pan, and puree with a food processor or hand blender, adding a little olive oil as needed. Add a few shakes of ground ginger, or a bit of grated fresh ginger.
In a frying pan, pour a little olive oil and add the remaining spices. Heat the spices until sizzling; then add the kale puree. Stir well; taste and add salt. If it looks and tastes dry, you may want to add more olive oil.
Serve with a sprinkling of lemon juice.
Serves: 1
