My mother's favorite vegetable growing up was kale, but she never cooked it when I was growing up. Apparently, we were too picky... wouldn't eat artichokes, cauliflower, or even tomatoes. Thus, tonight marked my first endeavor with kale. I was pleased with the outcome, even though Adam's response was the usual, "It's alright," earned by my red-meat-alternate meals.
Turkey and Kale Mole Tacos
1 lb ground turkey
1 small onion
3-4 stalks kale, chopped into small pieces
2 t chili powder
3 t cumin
1/2 oregano
3 T mole spice/paste
1 T tomato sauce
1 c vegetable broth
salt, to taste
In a large skillet, brown the turkey and onion together. Drain, and return to the pan.
Add kale and soften on medium heat 2-4 minutes. Add remaining ingredients, combine well, cook, and reduce for another 3-5 minutes.
Serve with warm tortillas and the cheese and goodies of your choosing. I had mine with corn tortillas, lime juice, avocado, and a bit of the first tomato out of our garden (not pictured, because I added it as an afterthought!).
Sounds delicious! I love a red meat alternative, and this looks like a great taco filling. What kind of mole paste did you use?
ReplyDeleteLisa, I've never made a mole sauce and had picked up a jar of whatever they had at HEB some time ago. It was similar to this Rogelio Bueno, but a different brand.
