Cook the Book: Kale Salad with Toasted Coconut
About This Recipe
Yield: 4
Active time: 15 minutes
Total time: 15 minutes
Ingredients
1/3 cup / 80 ml extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
3 1/2 lightly packed cups / 3.5 oz / 100 g chopped kale, stems trimmed, large ribs removed
1 1/2 cups / 3 oz / 85 g unsweetened large-flake coconut
2 cups / 9 oz / 255 g cooked spelt berries or other whole grain (optional)
Procedures
1. Preheat the oven to 350F / 180C with two racks in the top third of the oven.
2. In a small bowl or jar, whisk or shake together the olive oil, sesame oil, and shoyu. Put the kale
and coconut in a large bowl and toss well with about two-thirds of the olive oil mixture.
3. Spread the kale evenly across two baking sheets. Bake for 12 to 18 minutes, until the coconut is
deeply golden brown, tossing once or twice along the way. If the kale mixture on the top baking
sheet begins to get too browned, move it to the lower rack.
4. Remove from the oven and transfer the kale mixture to a medium bowl. Taste. If you feel it
needs a bit more dressing, add some and toss. Place the farro on a serving platter and top with
the tossed kale. Serve warm.
