Stuffed Kale With Bulgur Tabbouleh And Lime Yogurt Dip Recipes

STUFFED KALE WITH BULGUR TABBOULEH AND LIME YOGURT DIP

Steps:

• Mix the yogurt with the lime zest and lime juice. Season with salt. Cover and refrigerate. In a saucepan, bring the bulgur and 1 1/2 cups of water to a boil and simmer for 2 minutes. Cover and let stand off the heat until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain. Meanwhile, in a large pot, boil 16 cups of water with 1/2 cup of salt and the baking soda. Add the kale and boil until tender, 3 minutes. Drain and cool the kale in an ice bath. Drain well, squeeze dry and blot thoroughly with paper towels. Cut out and discard the tough kale stems. Transfer the bulgur to a bowl and mix with the shallot, garlic, parsley, cucumber, sour cherries, mint, olive oil and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Spread 1 leaf at a time on a work surface. Spoon 1/4 cup of the bulgur onto the leaf 1 inch from the bottom and roll up, tucking in the sides as you roll. Serve with the lime yogurt dip.

KALE & BULGUR TABBOULEH WITH YOGURT DRESSING

Steps:

• Put the bulgur in a medium bowl and pour over 125ml boiling water. Mix well, cover the bowl with cling film and leave for 10-15 mins until al dente.
• Bring a pan of water to the boil and add the eggs. Cook for 6 mins, then place in cold water until cool. Peel and cut in half. Put the dressing ingredients in a food processor or blender with 2 tbsp water and some salt. Blend until smooth.
• Break up the bulgur with a fork and add the remaining ingredients, except the eggs. Toss with the dressing, then top with the eggs to serve.

BULGUR AND KALE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Make the tomato sauce. Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat and add the onion. Cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes, and add the garlic. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about a minute, and add the tomatoes, salt to taste, pepper, sugar, cinnamon, paprika and allspice. Turn the heat up to medium-high and cook until the tomatoes are bubbling. Stir together, turn the heat back to medium-low, partly cover and cook, stirring often, until the tomatoes have cooked down and the sauce is thick and fragrant, 25 to 30 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning. Remove from the heat. If your sauce is chunky, put through a food mill or pulse in a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, blanch the kale in salted boiling water for 4 minutes or steam for 5 to 8 minutes, until tender. Rinse with cold water and squeeze dry. Chop fine (you can do this by pulsing in a food processor fitted with the steel blade.)
• Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large, heavy skillet and add the garlic. When it begins to smell fragrant, in about 30 seconds, stir in the chopped kale. Toss together and season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper. Stir in the bulgur and dill, combine well and remove from the heat.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Oil a 3-quart baking or gratin dish. Spoon a small amount of tomato sauce on the bottom of the dish, and spoon in the bulgur and kale. Spread in an even layer. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the Parmesan on top and cover with the remaining tomato sauce, spread in an even layer.
• Beat together the eggs, yogurt and 2 tablespoons of the remaining Parmesan. Season with salt, pepper and paprika. Spoon over the tomato sauce and spread in an even layer. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan on top. Place in the oven and bake 30 to 35 minutes, until golden. Remove from the heat and let sit for 10 minutes or longer before serving.
