Salaam y'all,
It's been a little while since our last food post but alhamdulillah, I'm done with my first year and now I have some time to straight up cheeell so ya know... that's what I've been doing. I wanted to do a quick post on some of my latest summer obsessions: Kale and goat cheese (chèvre, for the french & fancy).
Unless you've been totally AWOL, you've probably already been made privy to the superfood that is Kale, mA. Personally, my go-to with kale is kale chips - a recipe that is essentially foolproof. Literally all you have to do is dry the leaves, rip into pieces, and bake on a sheet for about 10 minutes. Just drizzle some olive oil on top and season with some salt and anything else you please. I love using garlic salt or adding some lime juice and chili powder for a little kick.
Kale is also really good sauteed- just add some olive oil, garlic, and onions in a pan along with kale leaves and good for about 10 minutes. Once its soft, add tomatoes (preferably fresh - canned works too for the economical). Sauteed kale pairs very nicely with cannellini beans so if you have them, don't be shy. It makes for a delicious and healthy meal that you can serve over whole-wheat pasta.
I become a huge smoothie fiend over the summer and kale is incredibly versatile and you can add it to all kinds of smoothies. You can add it to all kinds of fruits- I love blueberry-kale with yogurt or almond milk and a little honey. Strawberries, pineapple-ginger, Orange-banana, all paired with kale are also delicious. Or mango-pineapple. The list goes on, as you can see.
Finally, sauteed kale paired with walnut and goat cheese is seriously a stunningly beautiful combination. I made some pastries out of phyllo dough stuffed with kale, onion, garlic, walnut with goat cheese, baked for about 25 minutes. Gorgeous. Goat cheese with strawberries, cinnamon, and honey is also quite satisfying. Do try!
