Kale Rice Bowl

I have to admit, I missed the Buddha bowl hype. A Buddha Bowl is a one bowl meal with several components like grains, beans, fresh veggies, condiments, toppings, seeds, nuts, etc. artfully arranged to appeal. I asked the big search engine for “heidi swanson buddha bowl recipe“, the third recipe from above catched my eye. Heidi used lacinato kale I thought of curly kale, which has just its season. You can buy curly kale in every supermarket now, but they sell it only in 1 kg bags. I went to the weekly market to buy exactly my desired amount of (curly) kale and to my great suprise I found lacinato kale.

I bought about 300 grams, went home to prepare the

In Northern Germany leaf cabbage traditionally is cooked to death, but this vegetable is rich of vitamins and deserves a preparation like this. I liked the combination of different flavours, it tastes fresh and light. I’ll try it again with curly kale.

Instructions

  1. In a large pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the kale and a couple pinches of salt. Saute until the kale softens a bit and brightens, just a minute or so. Stir in the rice, and cook until the rice is hot. If your rice is on the dry side, you might have to add a small splash of water.
  2. Serve the kale rice bowl topped with (preferably) all of the following: the capers, poached egg, yogurt drizzled with olive oil, and plenty of za’atar.

    Hallo.
    Schönes Rezept.
    Inzwischen haben aber viele Deutsche entdeckt das Grünkohl, Schwarzkohl nicht mehr tot gekocht werden muss.
    Ich weiß nicht ob ich es darf, ich setze mal die Google Übersetzung auf Deutsch hier ein, wenn du das nicht möchtest einfach wieder löschen.
    Viele Grüße, Jesse Gabriel
