Kale, dates, cheese and a warm, toasty garlic bread crumb. Divine!
What you need:
- 5-6 large kale leaves
- 3-4 Medjool dates
- 2 tbsp parmesan cheese – grated (if you’re vegan, replace the parmesan with nutritional yeast)
For the garlic bread crumb:
- 2-3 slices toasted French bread
- 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ tsp crushed garlic
- Salt
For the dressing:
- 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tsp lemon juice
- ¼ tsp crushed garlic
- Salt – pinch
How to:
- Wash and dry the kale thoroughly. De-vein each leaf and stack them one on top of the other.
- Roll the leaves together like a cigar and chiffonade it and shred the leaves in to long strands.
- Sliver the dates in to five to six pieces, each.
For the garlic bread crumb:
- Heat the oil in a pan.
- Add the crushed garlic and cook until just fragrant.
- Crush the bread with the back of a spoon in a bowl, and add the crumbed bread to the pan.
- You can do this in a random manner, leaving few bigger bits with the crumbs, for added texture.
- Cook for a minute or so until just about toasty and golden, on a low flame.
For the dressing:
- Combine the ingredients for the dressing thoroughly.
Assemble:
- Massage the dressing in to the kale and leave for ten minutes. This helps to reduce the natural bitterness of the kale.
- Add the dates and cheese, and give it a light toss.
- Top with the bread crumbs.
