Equipment
- stove
Ingredients
- 1 bunch Tuscan kale, spines removed
- 1½ cups dry green lentils, or brown lentils
- 10 oz silken tofu
- ½ bunch cilantro
- 1 yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 inch piece ginger, minced
- 6 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp green curry paste
- 1½ cups water
- 2 cubes vegan "chicken" bouillon
- 2 tbsp coconut aminos
- 1 lime, juiced
- ½ tsp sea salt and black pepper, more or less to taste
- 2 cups baby spinach, coarsely chopped
To serve
- dairy-free plain unsweetened Greek yogurt
- red chili pepper, thinly sliced
- ¼ cup cilantro leaves, finely chopped
- toasted naan, rice, or massaged kale
Method
- Bring a medium pot of water to a boil and add the kale. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bright green and use tongs to remove and set aside.
- Add the lentils to the same pot of boiling water (yes, the water will be a touch green from the kale - it's alllll good) and simmer until tender - about 20-25 minutes. Drain.
- While lentils are simmering, add the kale, silken tofu, and cilantro to a high speed blender and puree until smooth, adding about 1/2 cup of water if needed to get things moving.
- Then, heat a large pan over medium low heat and add a splash of water or coconut oil to lightly coat the pan. Add the onion, ginger, and garlic, and sauté until tender and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add in the green curry paste and stir to combine, before pouring in the lentils, the puréed sauce, 1 1/2 cups of water, and bouillon cubes - stirring until they're dissolved.
- Season with coconut aminos, lime juice and salt and pepper before folding in the spinach until it is wilted.
- Top with dollops of yogurt, a sprinkle of red chili peppers and cilantro, and serve hot on top of massaged kale, rice, or straight out of the skillet with toasted naan for dunking.
