Tuscan Kale Salad

tuscan kale

tuscan


Just got some great Organic Tuscan Kale or Black Kale as some people call it at in Colts Neck Nj , the Kale came from Lady in PA & Fl

Tuscan Kale Salad
Tuscan kale is sweeter and more tender than regular kale. Tuscan kale also goes by the names black kale, lacinato kale, dinosaur kale and cavolo nero. Unlike lettuce, kale is a hearty green that does not wilt after dressing is added. The salad actually tastes better after a day or two in the fridge. So, it is a great salad that you can prepare in advance for a party.

Hugh, June and Frank made this Tuscan Kale Salad as the side dish to accompany the pizzas. This recipe serves 4.

Ingredients

1 bunch Tuscan kale
1 tablespoon
3 tablespoons Sunflower oil
1 clove garlic

freshly ground black pepper
Notes:

For a richer salad, add 1/4 cup grated pecorino or parmesan cheese.

If Tuscan kale is not available, do not substitute with regular kale, which will be too chewy. Instead, use 3 cups of arugula and 3 cups of baby . Be sure to use cheese if you try this combination.

Instructions

Wash and dry kale thoroughly, and strip the center rib from each leaf. To slice the kale, place 3 or 4 leaves in a stack and roll tightly, as if rolling a cigar. Slice the roll crosswise into paper-thin strips and place in a large bowl.
Lightly smash the garlic clove to release its juices, then skewer the garlic onto the end of a fork. Use this fork to whisk the oil and vinegar together, then discard the garlic. This gives the salad a light, but not overpowering, garlic flavour.
Toss the salad with the dressing, salt and 10 grinds of pepper until leaves are evenly coated.
Hugh, June and Frank, thank you for making this Tuscan Kale Salad for the South Arm for s

Eat to Live anti-cancer soup Fuhrman

Do not add the TVP that you see in some recipes

Here is the one I follow

Serves: 10
Preparation Time: 20 minutes
 
Ingredients:
1 cup dried split peas and/or beans
4 cups water
4 medium onions
6-10 medium zucchini
3 leek stalks
2 bunches , collards or other greens, chopped, tough stems and center ribs cut off and discarded
5 pounds carrots (4-5 cups juice)*
2 bunches organic celery (2 cups juice)*
2 tablespoons Dr. Fuhrman’s VegiZest or Mrs. Dash
1 cup raw cashews
8 ounces mushrooms (shiitake, cremini and/or oyster) chopped

Instructions:
Place the beans and water in a very large pot over low heat.
Add whole onions, whole zucchini and whole leeks to the pot along with chopped kale. Add carrot juice, celery juice and VegiZest(or Mrs Dash).

Simmer mixture until onions, zucchini and leeks are soft, about 20 minutes. Remove the soft onions, zucchini, and leeks from the pot along with some of the soup liquid, being careful to leave the beans and some of the kale in the pot.

Using a blender or food processor, completely blend/puree the onions, zucchini, and leeks. Add more soup liquid and the cashews to the mixture, and blend in. Return the blended, creamy mixture back to the pot. Add the mushrooms and simmer another 30 minutes or until beans are soft.

* Juice carrots and celery in a juice extractor. Fresh juiced organic carrots are necessary to maximize the flavor of this soup.

– if you can not juice the carrots some people just take them once cooked and put them thru the Vitamix blender

any questions just leave a comment and I will answer

Eat to Live Recipes Fuhrman

Eat to Live Recipes (see also ETL Recipes on the Blog)

Many of the recipes on this website are appropriate for Dr. Joel Fuhrman’s Eat to Live program, with the following possible changes:

Eliminate salt, if necessary
Reduce or eliminate high-sodium ingredients such as soy sauce or miso (or replace with low-sodium varieties)
Use low-sodium or salt-free versions of vegetable broth or vegetable bouillon
Reduce sugar or substitute date sugar or whole dates
Replace peanut butter with raw nut butter
Use brown rice or other whole grains instead of white rice
Use whole grain bread, without added salt, instead of white bread
Use whole wheat pasta instead of white, or eliminate the pasta altogether and substitute a whole grain
Find alternatives to broiling or grilling foods at high temperatures for long periods–possibly by pre-steaming vegetables so that grilling time is shortened
Recipes that are composed mostly of grains or starches should be eaten as side dishes–remember, the salad is the main dish!
The following recipes are appropriate for Eat to Live just as they are written, leaving out any salt. Many were submitted to the Eat-2-Live email list.
