Sautéed Kale And Collard Greens With Coconut Milk 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-BRAISED COLLARD GREENS

Steps:

• Cut off and discard any dry or wilted bits from the collard greens and wash the remaining collards in cold water. Transfer to a colander to drain, then coarsely chop the stems and leaves into 2- to 3-inch pieces.
• In a large wok or skillet, heat butter and oil over medium-high until rippling. Add scallions and cook, stirring, until softened, about 1 minute. Add collards and cook, stirring, just until wilted, about 1 minute.
• Add coconut milk and soy sauce and bring to a simmer. Simmer, uncovered, stirring frequently, until collards are cooked to your taste, about 7 minutes for bright and crisp greens or 10 minutes for darker, softer greens.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper and 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.

SAUTéED KALE AND COLLARD GREENS WITH COCONUT MILK

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium. Cook garlic, stirring, until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Add shallots, chile, ginger, and two-thirds of scallions. Season with salt; cook, stirring often, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add kale and collard greens a handful at a time, letting them wilt slightly before adding more. Cook, tossing occasionally, until greens are crisp-tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Add half of coconut milk and toss to coat.
• Transfer greens to a serving bowl and top with remaining coconut milk and scallions. Serve with lime wedges.
