Lentil kale salad


Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil over high heat and boil

  • 1.5 cups black beluga or French green lentils 

Until al dente - check after 15 minutes 


Make the flavored oil.  On low heat

  • 0.5 cups olive oil

add.

  • 3 scallions, sliced 
  • 4 smashes cloves of garlic
  • as many large pieces of peel as you can get from 1 lemon

once lemon peel starts to curl add 

  • 0.5 cups chopped raw almonds

cook on low heat 5 minutes, ideally almonds will brown some but sometimes my pan is too crowded. Take off heat and immediately add

  • 1 Tbsp. cumin seeds 
  • 0.5 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes

Assemble salad 

  • 1 head Tuscan kale, leaves stripped from stems 

Massage kale with salt until wilted, 2-4 minutes. 


dress kale with 

  • flavored olive oil, above
  • juice of 1 lemon

add to kale

  • 5-10 oz of crumbled feta
  • 1 cup pitted olives

and combine

Finally add 

  • warm lentils, above

toss again and serve with lentils still warm

This is a pretty lentil-heavy combination - if you want more of a kale oriented dish, maybe better as a side, cut lentils in half

XFF style noodles

This is more veggie forward than the original. I make this with the brisket from Brisket Broth cook  1 serving noodles (I use about 150g of the big noodles) According to package directions. Reserving the cooking liquid drain and refresh to room temp. In the same water cook briefly (1 min) 0.5 cup cabbage, cut same width as noodles You will probably need to microwave 0.25 cup broth (from where you made the protein, probably)  4 oz cooked protein, bite sized Combine toppings in in bowl 1 scallion, chopped 1 stalk celery, chopped (this is only crunch)   2 Tbs XFF noodle sauce (in pinch 1.5 Tbs soy sauce, 2 tsp black vinegar)   1 Tbs XFF chili oil (or another Szechuan / mala) Once all is done add to the noodles and cabbage the heated protein and broth and the toppings.
