About
If you need to add some fat to your main dish to round out your nutritional log for the day, this sesame kale and seaweed side will hit the spot! Kale and seaweed are very low carb but nutrient dense. A healthy dose of olive oil brings up your fat percentage, and toasty sesame seeds add a deeper flavor. Yum!
Ingredients
- 4 ounce kale
- 3 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon ginger
- ¼ sheet laver (nori), dried
- ¼ teaspoon, whole pieces sesame seeds
Instructions
- Rip up or chop the kale into an assortment of big and little pieces. Combine the kale and olive oil in a pot. Cook the pot on a low heat, with the lid on, for about 2 minutes or until the kale is wilted but still bright green.
- With the heat still on, stir in the salt, pepper, and ginger.
- Remove the pot from the heat. Use kitchen scissors or a knife to slice the seaweed sheet into thin strips. Stir the seaweed and sesame seeds into the pot. The heat from the kale will naturally rehydrate the seaweed.
- Serve the hot side immediately. You can sprinkle additional sesame seeds over the top, as garnish, at your discretion.
