Kale With Baked Tofu And Coconut Milk Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees. In a 3-quart/9-by-13-inch baking pan, use a fork to stir together the coconut milk, curry powder, ginger and sambal oelek. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and a generous grind of black pepper.
• Add half the kale and use your hands to toss to coat. Add the remaining kale, season with salt and pepper, and massage with your hands so that the volume decreases a bit, and the kale no longer extends above the pan's edge. Toss just once or twice so some of the kale is coated in sauce.
• Bake for 35 minutes. Sprinkle with coconut flakes, then continue to bake until the sauce has thickened and the kale on top is crisp, another 10 to 15 minutes, keeping an eye on the coconut flakes to avoid burning. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Toast the millet in a dry medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, 3 to 5 minutes. Add 1 cup water and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat to medium low and cook until the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, pat the tofu dry between paper towels. Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the tofu and cook, turning once, until well browned and slightly crisp, about 15 minutes.
• While the tofu is cooking, remove the kale stems and chop the leaves into bite-size pieces; place in a large bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice and rub it into the kale with your fingers until the kale softens, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Whisk the remaining lemon juice with the tahini and honey in a small bowl; add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and whisk until smooth. Whisk in 2 tablespoons water and season with salt and pepper. Add 2 tablespoons dressing to the kale; add the cabbage, onion and a pinch of salt and toss well.
• Fluff the millet with a fork and add to the kale mixture along with the sunflower seeds and sesame seeds; toss to combine. Divide the salad among bowls and top with the tofu. Drizzle with any oil from the skillet and the remaining dressing.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400-F.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the dressing oils, soy sauce, and Sriracha. Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes, and put them in the bowl. Gently toss to coat the tofu in the dressing. Let this sit while the oven heats up.
• Lightly oil a rimmed sheet-pan with about a tsp of neutral oil. Arrange the tofu cubes on the sheet-pan, leaving the excess dressing in the bowl. Bake for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk the 3 Tbsp melted coconut oil into the reserved dressing. Coarsely chop the kale, discarding the tough ends. Add the kale to the bowl of dressing and toss to coat.
• Put the kale into a large pot or wok along with 1 cup of water, cover and heat on medium heat until kale is wilted and is tender.
• Put 1 cup washed long grain rice, 1 cup water, 1 cup of the coconut milk, and 1 teaspoon salt in a rice cooker or pot and cook till done.
• Remove the sheet-pan of tofu from the oven. Gently push the cubes with a spatula to loosen. Add the tofu to the kale along with the rest of the coconut milk. Heat until the coconut milk comes to a boil then remove from heat and transfer to a serving bowl. Serve with coconut rice.

Steps:

• Blanch the kale in lightly salted water until tender, rinse in ice water, drain and cut into 1/2-inch ribbons. In a large saute pan over medium heat, melt the butter and add the kale, cream and nutmeg. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 5 minutes, or until the cream has reduced and thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

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.

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.

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.
