Getting back to work this week has been tough after a long and relaxing weekend, I’m kind of glad the weekend is near. I finally got the Christmas tree up and decorated and the boxes put back away.
I didn’t finish it Sunday because after I finished getting all the lights on, a fuse blew in the bottom strand and hubby sweetly picked up more fuses and fixed it Monday. And it looks great, such a bright and warm addition to the TV room. I need to figure out a lighted tree solution I can put there year round.
Anyway, I have a new healthy winter comfort recipe! It blends kale and tahini into a super strong, creamy, and savory garlic sauce or dressing. It’s perfect for sauteing steamed veggies, tofu, tempeh, etc. Also perfect to coat a kale salad with more kale.
Creamy Kale Sauce
- 2 cups chopped/shredded kale
- 2-3 cloves garlic
- ¼ cup tahini
- 1 tbsp. miso paste
- 2 tbsp. nutritional yeast
- 2 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
- dash red pepper flakes (to taste)
- ½ cup water, as needed
- salt and pepper to taste
Place all ingredients into a high speed blender and blend to a smooth and creamy texture. Serve and enjoy! Makes 4 servings.
You can blend it to desired thickness, I went a little looser to use in a heated potato saute.
It coated chopped potatoes, carrots, cauliflower, and more kale nicely.
And has a strong garlic kick, satisfyingly strong.
But also warming and hearty for a cold winter dinner.
Season your veggies with veggies with this healthy sauce!
This looks good! I wonder how it would taste over pasta and veggies as a healthy cream sauce.
Thanks and probably great with pasta with the strong garlic flavor.
I’ve had somewhat of a falling out with kale lately, but I’ll definitely make this with spinach instead. Yum!
Oh no! :-P I hear ya, I have periods where I’m tired of it too.
I love the garlic flavor in here! I still have cloves to use up so this is perfect. Cutest little tree ever. Sigh. We still haven’t gotten one yet. Oh well.
Me too, I could eat an entire roasted bulb! Thanks on the tree, our next few weekends are so busy, it was our only opportunity to get it.
Ohhhh yummy!! And the perfect season for this too! <3 – http://www.domesticgeekgirl.com
