Kale Dumplings Recipes

KALE DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Chop stems off the kale and discard. Finely chop the leaves and remaining stems.
• Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a large pot.
• Add the garlic and sautee for 2-3 minutes.
• Add the 1/4 cup of water and kale, stir. Place the lid on the pot and let simmer for 1-2 minutes, until kale is soft. If necessary, cover the pot and let simmer for another 1-2 minutes.
• Drain the kale and pat dry. Place in a large bowl.
• Add egg, yogurt, mozarella and parmesean cheese and stir.
• In a small bowl combine flour and baking powder.
• Pour flour mixture into the large bowl with kale and cheese. Stir all ingredients together. Add a dash of salt and pepper for seasoning.
• Place a large pot of water on medium-high heat and bring to a boil.
• Refrigerate until the water is boiling.
• In the meantime, make tomato sauce.
• When water is boiling, remove dumpling dough from the refrigerator and form into balls. I used my EatSmart Precision Pro Kitchen Scale to weigh each individual dumpling, making sure that each ball was roughly 2.0-2.10 ounces.
• When all balls are formed, place them in the large pot of boiling water.
• The dumplings should cook for 3-5 minutes before rising to the top. Upon rising, leave them in the water for another 1-2 minutes.
• Drain dumplings into a strainer and serve hot with fresh tomato sauce.

KALE, SNOW PEA, AND PORK DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Place the kale, snow pea, water chestnut, cilantro, chive, ginger, mirin, oil, pork, salt, and pepper in a large bowl and mix well to combine. Place the wrappers on a clean work surface and brush the edges with water. Place 1 teaspoon of the kale mixture in the center of each wrapper. Fold the edges of the wrappers over and press together to seal. Place a steamer lined with non-stick baking paper over a saucepan of simmering water. Steam the dumplings, in batches, for 10-12 minutes or until cooked through. Top with the onion and serve with chili sauce and black vinegar.
