KALE TABBOULEH



Kale Tabbouleh image

Here's the thing about tabbouleh salad: Most of the ones I've had invert my preferred proportion of bulgur to parsley. What you usually get is a bowl of tabbouleh studded with bits of parsley. I like a salad that is mostly parsley, studded with grains of tabbouleh. I pictured a generous ratio of green to tan, but with kale standing in for parsley. It has a hint of parsley's pleasing bitterness, but is far milder, which means that this tabbouleh salad didn't have to be just a side dish, one best eaten in small portions. Instead, I could eat a whole bowl of it - a dream for a raw kale devotee.

KALE TABBOULEH WITH QUINOA



Kale Tabbouleh with Quinoa image

I got this recipe from a good friend. I absolutely love it. It is a refreshing and surprisingly healthy salad. You can have it as a side dish, or, for a heartier meal, throw some grilled chicken on it and enjoy! The salad can be eaten right away or kept in the fridge for up to three days. If you make it in advance, toss the salad again before serving to redistribute the juices.

Time 30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

½ cup water
¼ cup quinoa
1 bunch curly leaf parsley
½ bunch curly leaf kale
1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
½ English cucumber, diced
1 shallot, minced
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, or more to taste
salt to taste

Steps:

  • Bring water and quinoa to a boil in a small saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender and water has been absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Starting at the leafy top, cut parsley and kale perpendicular to the stems in 1/2- or 1/4-inch cuts until you reach the point where there's nothing left but stems. Discard stems. Chop the pile of greens on your board with a knife or cleaver until the pieces of parsley and kale are no larger than 1/4 inch. It should be pretty fine, but you don't want it to turn into a paste. Transfer parsley and kale to a large mixing bowl. Toss quinoa, grape tomatoes, cucumber, and shallot with the parsley and kale.
  • Whisk lemon juice, olive oil, and salt together in a small bowl; drizzle over the salad and toss to coat.

In his clever version of stuffed grape leaves, chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten uses tender kale as the wrapper, and stuffs them with a tabbouleh of bulgur, cucumber, mint and sour cherry.
Slideshow: Best Kale Recipes
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons finely grated lime zest
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
Kosher salt
1/2 cup medium-grade bulgur
1 teaspoon baking soda
16 large Tuscan kale leaves (1 pound)
1 small shallot, minced
1 garlic clove, minced
1 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
1/2 European cucumber-peeled, halved, seeded and finely chopped
1/2 cup dried sour cherries, chopped
1/4 cup chopped mint
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Mix the yogurt with the lime zest and lime juice. Season with salt. Cover and refrigerate. In a saucepan, bring the bulgur and 1 1/2 cups of water to a boil and simmer for 2 minutes. Cover and let stand off the heat until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain. Meanwhile, in a large pot, boil 16 cups of water with 1/2 cup of salt and the baking soda. Add the kale and boil until tender, 3 minutes. Drain and cool the kale in an ice bath. Drain well, squeeze dry and blot thoroughly with paper towels. Cut out and discard the tough kale stems. Transfer the bulgur to a bowl and mix with the shallot, garlic, parsley, cucumber, sour cherries, mint, olive oil and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Spread 1 leaf at a time on a work surface. Spoon 1/4 cup of the bulgur onto the leaf 1 inch from the bottom and roll up, tucking in the sides as you roll. Serve with the lime yogurt dip.

GRILLED SALMON KEBABS WITH KALE TABBOULEH



Grilled Salmon Kebabs with Kale Tabbouleh image

Salmon is not only the perfect foil for a fresh tabbouleh salad, but it's also hearty enough to withstand skewering and grilling, and won't flake apart as easily as leaner white fish. This dish packs the punch of two major superfoods: omega-3 rich salmon and vitamin-loaded kale.

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup bulgur
1 large bunch kale (about 10 ounces), leaves shredded
1 cup halved cherry or grape tomatoes
2 scallions, thinly sliced
1/2 cup roughly chopped fresh mint
2 lemons (1 1/2 juiced, 1/2 cut into wedges)
6 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for the grill
1 tablespoon ground cumin
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds center-cut skinless salmon fillets, cut into 2-inch chunks
3/4 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
1 Persian cucumber, grated

Steps:

  • Cook the bulgur as the label directs. Meanwhile, toss the kale, tomatoes, scallions, mint, 2 tablespoons lemon juice and 4 teaspoons olive oil in a large bowl. Fluff the bulgur and stir into the kale mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate while you prepare the kebabs.
  • Preheat the grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Whisk the remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil, the cumin and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Add the salmon chunks, tossing well to coat. Thread the salmon onto 8 skewers. (If using wooden skewers, soak them in water first for about 20 minutes.) Oil the grill grates; grill the kebabs, turning, until the fish is opaque, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • While the fish cooks, stir together the yogurt, cucumber and remaining lemon juice (about 1 tablespoon); season with salt and pepper. Divide the tabbouleh and salmon kebabs among plates; serve with the yogurt sauce and lemon wedges.
