As great as kale chips are I needed to do something else with the bunch I got from our veg box. We got a handy grilling basket which is changing our (summer) lives so I decided instead of putting them straight on the grill I would toss them in the basket already torn up a bit.
This recipe also gave me an excuse to go buy tahini- the base to many a good homemade hummus recipe which I'll plan on making more of soon. I know some 1 year old's who love the stuff.
I'd make this recipe again easily. The husband loved it and I think it took out the broccoli like taste kale has which, if you don't like broccoli may turn you away from the nutrient packed greens.
{Recipe thanks to and loosely modified from Sunset}
{Ingredients You'll Need}
- 1 bunch kale
- olive oil to sprinkle on the kale
- 1 Tablespoon Sesame Seeds
- 1 Tablespoon Tahini
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 2 Tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon honey
1. Sprinkle the kale with olive oil and a little salt and pepper and toss. Throw either in pieces into a grill basket or the whole thing onto the grill. Toss the greens every few minutes or turn until just softened and streaked brown about 5-6 minutes.
2. While the greens are cooking whip up the dressing in a large bowl. When the greens are done just chop them (carefully if they're too hot) and toss in the dressing. Serve up and watch people eat and enjoy kale!
I love Tahini! I throw it in salad dressings a lot too, for a little sesame flavor.
ReplyDeleteLove this idea! I have a grill basket I've been loving too, but never would have thought to throw kale in it.
