Finishing this dish with coconut milk retains its sweet flavor.

Ingredients

Serves 4

2 tablespoons virgin coconut oil
4 garlic cloves, lightly crushed
2 small shallots, chopped
1 red chile (such as Fresno), thinly sliced
1 (1-inch) piece ginger, peeled, thinly sliced into matchsticks
1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced, divided
Kosher salt
1 bunch small kale, ribs and stems removed, leaves torn
1 bunch small collard greens, ribs and stems removed, leaves sliced 1-inch thick
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk, divided
Lime wedges (for serving)
  1. Step 1

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium. Cook garlic, stirring, until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Add shallots, chile, ginger, and two-thirds of scallions. Season with salt; cook, stirring often, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add kale and collard greens a handful at a time, letting them wilt slightly before adding more. Cook, tossing occasionally, until greens are crisp-tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Add half of coconut milk and toss to coat.

    Step 2

    Transfer greens to a serving bowl and top with remaining coconut milk and scallions. Serve with lime wedges.

  • I paired this with the Gochujang-Braised Chicken and Crispy Rice recipe in the same issue, and it was very nice. I am always looking for ways to incorporate more greens into my diet. The spice in the chicken dish was plenty so I left out the chili.

  • We thought this was really great. The coconut took the edge off of the greens. This is a nice "Asian"-style option for a side vegetable when we have Thai chicken or something similar.

  • With all the flavorful ingredients, I was surprised how bland this tasted.
