Kale With Chickpeas In Peanut Sauce Recipes

KALE CHICKPEA STIR-FRY WITH MISO PEANUT DRESSING

Steps:

• To make the drizzle, place the peanut butter, miso, lemon juice, sesame oil, agave, scallions, garlic, vinegar and water in a blender. Blend until perfectly smooth. Adjust the miso to taste, and add more water if needed to get a thick yet pourable dressing. Set aside while preparing the rest of the dish. I like to use a squeeze bottle to serve the drizzle; it makes for a prettier presentation.
• To make the kale and chickpeas, place the sesame oil, onion, chickpeas, garlic, salt, paprika and chipotle powder in a large skillet. Heat on medium-high and stir-fry until the onion is golden brown and fragrant, about 4 minutes. Be sure to stir frequently to prevent scorching. Add the kale and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
• Serve with roasted sweet potatoes and drizzle peanut sauce on top. If there are sauce leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It tastes great on tofu bowls, baked potatoes and roasted vegetables.

INDIAN KALE WITH CHICKPEAS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large frying pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add onion and chile pepper; saute until onion is tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Add chickpeas, cumin, coriander, turmeric, cinnamon, and salt; saute for 5 minutes. Pour in a splash of water, followed by lemon zest and juice. Season further to taste if desired.
• Fold kale into the mixture until just wilted, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and serve.

CHICKPEA AND KALE CURRY

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium. Add bell pepper and onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add kale and garlic; cook, stirring often, until kale is softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in curry powder, ginger, salt, and pepper. Add peanut butter; cook, stirring constantly, 30 seconds. Stir in coconut milk and chickpeas, and cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce starts to thicken slightly, 12 to 14 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in lime juice.
• Place 1/2 cup cooked quinoa in a bowl. Top with 1 cup curry mixture and cilantro sprigs. Refrigerate or freeze remaining quinoa and curry for later use.

KALE WITH CHICKPEAS IN PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• Melt peanut butter in microwave. Mix in tomatoes and chickpeas and set aside.
• Remove the center stem from the kale and discard. Wash and chop kale leaves and set aside. If you don't know how to remove the stems from kale, Google: remove kale stems.
• Coat large sauté pan or pot (5 qt or more) with oil. Add onions and mushrooms and cook over medium heat, adding small amounts of water if needed to prevent sticking. Continue cooking until onions are soft.
• Add kale with small amount of water and cook until wilted. You many need to add kale in batches if it won't all fit. Add small amounts of water as needed to prevent sticking. Cook to desired doneness.
• Add peanut mixture to kale and heat through, mixing thoroughly.

KALE STIR-FRY WITH PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat a wok over medium-high heat. Add wet kate and stir-fry until wilted, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Combine peanut sauce and kale and serve.

KALE SALAD WITH PEANUT VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• For the peanut vinaigrette: Whisk together the peanut butter, vinegar, honey and sesame oil in a small bowl until smooth. Whisk in the canola oil and season with salt. Refrigerate in an airtight container until ready to serve.
• For the kale salad: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
• Spread the garbanzo beans on the prepared baking sheet, rolling them lightly over the paper towels to remove excess liquid. Remove the paper towels, add the olive oil, and toss the garbanzos to coat. Bake until the garbanzos are deep golden brown and crispy, 25 minutes. Season immediately with salt. Let cool completely.
• Combine the carrots, radishes, kale, cucumbers and peppers in a large bowl; season with salt. Dress the salad with about a third of the dressing; since the kale is such a sturdy green, it can be dressed an hour or two ahead. (Refrigerate the remaining dressing to use on other salads or as a marinade.) Just before serving, toss with the crispy garbanzo beans and roasted peanuts.
