Recipe type: Main
Ingredients
FOR THE MASSAGED KALE
1 large bunch kale, thoroughly rinsed and dried
2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1 tsp. Italian or herb seasoning
¾ tsp. kosher salt
½ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
FOR THE FRIED RICE
2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
5 cloves garlic, chopped
¼ c. tomato paste
1 tsp. granulated sugar (optional)
1 tsp. ground gochugaru (optional)
¼ tsp. onion powder
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
3 c. cooked rice
FOR TOPPING
½ small red onion, thinly sliced
¼ c. chopped olives
Crumbled feta
Instructions
Make the massaged kale: Strip kale leaves from the ribs. Tear leaves into 2” bite-sized pieces, then finely dice ribs into ¼” pieces. Transfer leaves and ribs to a large mixing bowl, then add oil, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper and use your hands to massage the oil into the kale until leaves turn slightly translucent, about 5 minutes.
Make the rice: In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add garlic, tomato paste, sugar, gochugaru (if using), onion powder, and season with salt and pepper, stirring until tomato paste is lightly caramelized, about 2 minutes. Add rice and stir until tomato paste coats rice evenly. Cook, stirring occasionally, until rice is warmed through and starting to turn crispy, about 8 minutes.
To serve, add some massaged kale to your plate, then top with a helping of tomato rice. Top with red onion, olives, and feta before serving.
