Kale cooked in Coconut Gravy (Kale Laing)
This Filipino style Kale recipe will delight you. Instead of Taro leaves, we used Kale as a substitute on the classic Filipino Ginataan dish.
Ingredients
- 3 bunches green Kale torn into bite-size pcs
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 2 to 3 tablespoons ginger julienned
- 5 cloved garlic minced
- 2 400 ml cans coconut milk I used Aroy-D
- 2 tablespoons Bagoong alamang sauteed shrimp paste
- 1 / 2 cup water
- salt to taste
Instructions
- In a big pot, put onion, ginger, garlic, coconut milk, alamang and water. Bring to a boil on medium heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Gently add Kale, pushing it down and flipping until all the pieces are added. Cook for 3 minutes then REMOVE kale from the pot and place in a bowl.
- Cook the remaining liquid on HIGH until thick (about only 1 cup liquid is left).
- Put the Kale back, season with salt if needed and cook for 2 minute while stirring until the coconut sauce coats the Kale pieces well.
- Serve with rice
