kale works in curry

[cellio]

I asked what to do with kale and some of you suggested braising for a while. I haven't done that yet, but I used some of it in this recipe for Thai red curry and that worked well. And I remembered to snap a picture before we'd eaten too much of it!

The aromatics are onion, ginger, and garlic and the vegetables are red bell pepper, carrots, and kale. (I should have also used a yellow or orange pepper. Next time.) This worked well, and I think it could even absorb more kale! I found myself wanting another vegetable to bit into besides the carrots and peppers; maybe next time I'll add some radish or parsnips or cauliflower. (I don't always have cauliflower on hand.) I know that potatoes are used in Indian curry-like dishes; I don't know about Thai, but that's a possibility too. Maybe sweet potatoes?

The recipe says four servings, but even over rice I disbelieve. I had planned to have leftovers for lunch, but we ate it all. (I have some leftover rice; I started with a cup dry.)

That looks delicious!

I don't know Thai cuisine at all, so this is purely based on flavors, but I think sweet potatoes would work well.
