Indian-Spiced Kale & Chickpeas
  • Prep:
  • Cook:
  • Ready in:
  • Serves:

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-1 1 pounds kale, ribs removed, coarsely chopped (see Tip)
  • 1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon garam masala (see Ingredient note)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 15-ounce can chickpeas, rinsed

Cooking Instructions

Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add kale and cook, tossing with two large spoons, until bright green, about 1 minute. Add broth, coriander, cumin, garam masala and salt. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the kale is tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in chickpeas; cover and cook until the chickpeas are heated through, 1 to 2 minutes.

Tip: A 1- to 1 1/2-pound bunch of kale yields 16 to 24 cups of chopped leaves. When preparing kale for these recipes, remove the tough ribs, chop or tear the kale as directed, then wash it--allowing some water to cling to the leaves. The moisture helps steam the kale during the first stages of cooking.

Ingredient Note: Garam masala, a ground spice mixture traditionally including coriander, cumin, cinnamon, peppercorns, cardamom and cloves, is commonly used in Indian cooking. Find it in the specialty-spice section of large supermarkets.

the best Kale I have ever made

I have been experimenting with many different kale recipes over the years. I found this to be the best one so far. I would highly recomend this.

You must try this!

I really enjoyed this recipe and will make it again. I did not have any ground Coriander and used an extra 1/4 TSP. of Garam Marsala in its place. I also recommend you remove the tough center stem from each Kale leaf before cooking. The Kale really took in the flavors of the broth and garlic and my family practically fought over this yummy side dish. It was fast and very easy to make. Nicole
