Happy October! What a beautiful start to the official fall season with warm temperatures and sunny days! Our crops are all growing well and we’ve even had to start irrigating again with no rain in the near forecast.

I’m finalizing plans for our Harvest Fest on October 20th and I’ll share some exciting details with you next week. Until then, enjoy this week’s bountiful harvest! –Maggie

Sautéed Kale with Tahini Sauce

Kale with Tahini Sauce

Time to try a new way of cooking your favorite greens? Try Toscano Kale in this recipe from fellow CSA member and founder of EZeating, Chef Tara Wood! Like Sautéed Kale with Tahini Sauce, her recipe collection highlights veggies from our CSA deliveries… more recipes coming soon. Enjoy!

Ingredients:
1 pound kale, well rinsed
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
Salt
4 Tbsp tahini (use tahini made with toasted sesame seeds, not raw)
2 Tbsp lemon juice
3-4 Tbsp water
1 teaspoon dark sesame oil
1 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds for garnish

Directions:
1. Using a sharp paring knife, cut out the rib of each kale leaf. Discard or compost. Slice the leaves roughly 1/2-inch thick.

2. Heat olive oil on medium high heat in a large sauté pan. When hot, add the chopped onion. Cook for a couple of minutes until translucent. Add the garlic and cook for a minute more.

3. Add the kale to the sauté pan. Even if you have a pretty large pan, the kale will be practically falling out of it. Put in as much as you can and use tongs to turn over and mix with the oil and onions. After a couple minutes the kale should wilt a bit so you can add the rest of the raw kale. Cook, turning the kale leaves over occasionally until the kales leaves have wilted and are tender. Sprinkle a little salt over the kale leaves while cooking.

4. While the kale is cooking, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, water, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and dark sesame oil. Add more salt and sesame oil to taste.

5. Once the kale is done, toss in the sauce, reserving a little to drizzle on top.

Serve, topped with a little sauce and toasted sesame seeds.

Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cook Time: 15 minutes | Makes: 4
