Kale Tahini Salad Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 bunches of kale
- 1 package of tempeh
- miso paste
- sesame seeds
- sesame oil
- tamari
Spices:
- 1 teaspoon coriander
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon cayenne (optional to taste)
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
Note: The above flavouring can be achieved with 1 tablespoon of commercial curry powder …but that’s not as fun.
Directions
- De-vein kale and steam.
- Add spices to olive oil in a frying pan.
- Cube up tempeh into bite size pieces and sautee in olive oil at medium heat with all the spices until golden brown.
- Massage miso paste into the kale with your hands. Make sure there are no clumps! Also massage in a good splash of tamari and a very small splash of sesame oil. If the kale is still too dry, add more tamari, but not more sesame oil. When the kale is well-coated, toss in a handful of sesame seeds and your sauteed tempeh and stir well.
- Refrigerate and serve cold.
