Ingredients
  • 2-3 Tbsp. coconut oil
  • ½ tsp. jeera mix (see the My Pantry page linked on the top navigation bar)
  • ½ medium yellow onion, sliced
  • 3+ dried chilies, cut/broken into pieces
  • 3 Tbsp. unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 bunch lacinato kale (other varieties okay, too), thick stalks removed and thinly sliced
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • ¼ cup water
To Make
  1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. When the oil shimmers, add the jeera mix and let it pop a little.
  3. Add the sliced onions and stir. Cook for a few minutes until they begin to soften, but don't let them brown.
  4. Add the chilies and coconut and toast lightly.
  5. Add the minced garlic and stir for about 30 seconds or until fragrant.
  6. Add the sliced kale, salt, and water and stir well.
  7. Cook over medium heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until kale is tender. If it gets too dry and begins to stick to the pan, add an additional 1-2 Tbsp. of water.
  8. Adjust salt if needed.
  9. Enjoy!
