Curried Greens
This recipe was provided by shareholder Martha Creedon and her notes are included in brackets. She says she found it on the web at drweil.com. Serves 6Ingredients
- 1 pound spinach, kale, collards or beet greens (or mixture of all)
- 2 cloves garlic, pressed or minced [I used 3 full scapes, could probably have used some more]
- 2-3 tablespoons curry powder
- 1 cup finely chopped tomatoes (fresh or canned)
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon dark-brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon expeller-pressed canola oil
- 1 cup onion, finely diced [I used a few scallions and an onion]
- 3/4 pound brown potatoes, peeled and cubed [I used the red potatoes from my share, very mild]
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro [optional but recommended!]
Directions
- Wash and drain greens, removing any coarse stems and midribs. Cut into half-inch strips.
- In a small bowl, mix together the garlic, curry powder, tomatoes, tomato paste and sugar.
- Heat the canola oil in a skillet and sauté onion over medium-high heat until it begins to brown. Add the spice-and-tomato mixture, mix well, and cook for a few minutes.
- Add the potatoes and 2 cups water.
- Mix well, bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and cook for 10 minutes.
- Add greens and cook for 10 minutes more, or until potatoes are done.
- Correct seasoning to taste. Garnish with the chopped fresh cilantro if desired.
