Curried Greens Recipes

AMAZING COCONUT CURRIED GREENS

Steps:

• Heat a large metal or cast iron skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add coconut oil, shallot, garlic and ginger. Sauté for 2-4 minutes, or until shallot is tender and fragrant.
• Add collard greens, half of the curry powder (1 tsp as original recipe is written), coconut sugar, and a healthy pinch sea salt. Stir to combine and reduce heat slightly to medium-low. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until greens appear tender but not mushy.
• Add kale, another pinch of sea salt, remaining curry powder (1 tsp as original recipe is written), and the coconut milk. Stir to combine and cover once more to steam for 2-4 minutes, or until kale appears tender.
• Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more salt to taste, coconut sugar for sweetness, or curry powder for intense curry flavor.
• Serve immediately as is or with toasted coconut flakes. This would pair incredibly well with my 30-minute Coconut Curry, Coconut Red Curry with Chickpeas, Thai Yellow Coconut Curry with Mango, Coconut Curry Ramen, Spicy Red Lentil Curry, 1-Pot Kale Sweet Potato Curry, Green Chickpea Curry with Couscous, and Easy Chana Masala.
• Best when fresh, though leftovers keep in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.

COCONUT CURRY GREENS WITH LENTILS

Steps:

• In a large Dutch oven or pot, heat the butter or ghee over medium heat. Add the onion and carrot. Cook until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Add the ginger, garlic and red curry paste and cook until aromatic, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the coconut milk and stock. Add the lentils and simmer until the curry is thickened and the lentils are tender but not mushy, 12 to 15 minutes. Stir in the chard, spinach and fish sauce and cook until the greens are wilted, a few more minutes.
• Serve over the rice and garnish with the almonds, mint, pomegranate and lime wedges.

CURRIED GREENS WITH GOLDEN ONIONS AND CASHEWS

Steps:

• Cook onion with salt to taste in 3 tablespoons oil in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until deep golden and some wedges are crisp, 15 to 20 minutes. Meanwhile, stir together spices.
• Add cashews to onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until nuts are 1 shade darker, about 3 minutes. Stir in 1 1/2 teaspoons spice mix and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Remove skillet from heat.
• Heat remaining 3 tablespoons oil in a 5-quart heavy pot over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then cook remaining spice mix, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Immediately stir in the 3 greens and water and cook, stirring occasionally, until most of liquid is evaporated and greens are tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt.
• Serve greens sprinkled with onion mixture.
