kale with tahini sauce



Wow, this has become one of our favorite things to eat.  We get a lot of kale in our CSA and were looking for a really delicious way to eat it.  This works great and is easy.  The tahini sauce is good on a lot of veggies, but I think kale's nuttiness makes it the best candidate.

For 4 servings, you'll need:

  • 1 bunch fresh dinosaur kale (you can use other kinds of kale, but I like this best)
  • 1/4 c lemon juice
  • 1/2 c flavorful olive oil
  • 1/4 c liquid aminos
  • 1/3 c tahini
  • 1 T onion*
  • 1 garlic clove, peeled*
  • 1 T real maple syrup
  • 1/4 c water
*If you have garlic scapes you need to use up, replace onions and garlic in this recipe with 2-3 stalks.

The steps:
  • Roughly chop your kale, removing the rigid ribs.
  • Place it in a steamer and let cook while you prepare the sauce
  • In a food processor, combine the rest of the ingredients until smooth
  • Once the kale is done (don't overcook it, just soften it a little), remove from steamer, place in a serving bowl, and pour sauce over top
  • Let stand 5-10min to let the sauce soak in
  • Enjoy it.  
  • I'd recommend serving this with some bread because you'll want to soak up all of this yummy sauce
