Best Coconut And Lime Grilled Kale Recipes
COCONUT KALE
The kale in this recipe, adapted from Vij's Restaurant, in Vancouver, British Columbia, is rich and fiery, sweet and salty all at once. Grilling softens the texture of the kale without entirely removing the mild bitterness of the leaves, while the marinade of coconut milk, cayenne, salt and lemon juice caramelizes in the heat to create a perfect balance of flavors. Made over a charcoal fire or even in a broiler or wickedly hot pan, it becomes a dish of uncommon flavor, the sort of thing you could eat on its own, with only a mound of basmati rice for contrast.

Steps:
- Wash the kale thoroughly and cut out the stalks. Cut the wide leaves into strips the width of the small leaves.
- In a large pot set over a low flame, heat the coconut milk until it is thoroughly mixed and just lukewarm. Transfer to a large, nonreactive bowl and add the remaining ingredients. Stir in the kale, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
- Heat a grill or a cast-iron grill pan over high heat. Remove the kale from the refrigerator and stir to make sure the leaves are well covered in marinade. Using metal tongs, place the kale on the grill in a single layer. Cook for 45 to 60 seconds, or until the leaves are sizzling, then turn over and grill the other side for another 45 to 60 seconds, or until the leaves have visibly softened. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Wash kale and shake almost dry. Leave a little water clinging to the leaves. Remove tough stems and coarsely chop or tear the leaves.
- Mix garlic, ras el hanout, and salt together in a small bowl with a fork.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 of the kale. Stir until starting to steam. Add remaining kale and stir again. Cook until leaves are dark green and wilting, about 5 minutes. Push leaves to one side of the skillet. Add coconut oil to the empty side and let melt. Pour ras el hanout mixture into the pool of oil and stir until fragrant, about 20 seconds.
- Pour coconut milk into the skillet and stir well. Saute until sauce starts to thicken, 4 to 5 minutes.
