Kale Lemon Sandwiches
Thanks to Barbara D for sharing this recipe. She tells me it is her favorite way to eat kale, and we think it looks tasty. It was inspired by a recipe found on PlanEat, and adapted for Fresh Fork Market.
For the lemon, zest the ends and then remove about 1 inch from each stem end side. Juice these ends and reserve. VERY thinly slice the center section, and remove any seeds as you go.
Toast your bread really well, to an almost cracker-like texture.
Blanch the kale: bring 3-4 inches of water to a boil, drop in kale cover and cook until tender, 3 minutes. Quickly drop into an ice water bath, or rinse until freezing water to stop the cooking process. Pat/squeeze dry with towels. Sprinkle the tender kale with lemon zest and lemon juice, and tear up into small pieces, and allow to sit while you prep the sandwiches.
Spread toast thickly with hummus, sprinkle green onions on the hummus, pile cilantro on top of the green onions and then place a few super thing lemon slices on the cilantro.
Then put a big handful of lemoney-kale on top of each piece of bread. Drizzle a little bit of oil on top, and crack some salt and pepper. It's delicious as is, or top with a tomato slice.
