Coconut Creamed Kale image

These are not your typical creamed greens: Here, curly kale, rich coconut milk, curry powder and chile sauce are tossed together, then baked. The result is two textures in one: creamy on the bottom and crunchy (like a kale chip) on top. Crisp coconut flakes bring even more texture. Serve the greens with plenty of the curry coconut sauce spooned over. Pair them with rice, chewy noodles, roasted squash or red lentils, or alongside white fish or shrimp.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 (13-ounce) cans full-fat coconut milk
2 tablespoons Madras curry powder
1 (2-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated (about 1 tablespoon)
1 teaspoon sambal oelek or Sriracha
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 large bunches curly kale (about 1 pound), stems removed, leaves torn into 3-inch pieces
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees. In a 3-quart/9-by-13-inch baking pan, use a fork to stir together the coconut milk, curry powder, ginger and sambal oelek. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and a generous grind of black pepper.
  • Add half the kale and use your hands to toss to coat. Add the remaining kale, season with salt and pepper, and massage with your hands so that the volume decreases a bit, and the kale no longer extends above the pan's edge. Toss just once or twice so some of the kale is coated in sauce.
  • Bake for 35 minutes. Sprinkle with coconut flakes, then continue to bake until the sauce has thickened and the kale on top is crisp, another 10 to 15 minutes, keeping an eye on the coconut flakes to avoid burning. Serve warm.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish turned out really watery. I think I added too much coconut milk.

This dish is a bit too rich for my taste. I would cut down on the amount of coconut milk next time.

This coconut creamed kale recipe is a definite keeper! The coconut milk adds a rich, creamy texture and a subtle sweetness that pairs perfectly with the slightly bitter kale.
