The curried romaine is delicious alongside your favorite protein, fluffy grains, or as part of a curry-inspired meal.
How To MakeDiet Type: Plant-based
Shopping List
- 1 1/2 medium-sized romaine hearts (or 1 XL, Note 1)
- 1/4 cup raisins (optional, but recommended)
- 1/4 cup pine nuts
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
- 2 teaspoons curry powder
- 3 cloves garlic
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Step 1: Wash and dry the romaine. Chop the leaves into smaller pieces (any size).
- Step 2: Toast the pine nuts in a dry frying pan over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the nuts are slightly toasted and fragrant. Stir often to avoid burning. Transfer the toasted nuts to a bowl.
- Step 3: Heat the cooking oil in the same frying pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the romaine and cook it for 3 to 5 minutes, or until it has all wilted. You may need to add the romaine in batches if it does not all fit at once.
- Step 4: Add the raisins, toasted pine nuts, salt, and pepper to the pan with the wilted greens. Add a few tablespoons of water and cook for 1 more minute, or until all the water has cooked off.
- Serve: Slide the greens onto a serving plate and enjoy.
Recipe Notes
Note 1: This is also delicious using a 50/50 ratio of romaine and mustard greens.
