The contents of my shopping bags invariably look the same, more or less. The inside of my fridge is fairly predictable as well, give or take. There’s always a place for the likes of fennel, carrots, red cabbage, broccoli, rutabaga, celeriac, cucumber and a couple of jugs of herbs. Of course I do like to have to hand a few bunches of dark leafy greens such as lacinato or green kale, swiss, red or rainbow chard. And then there are collard greens. Usually they are very much a side order and I tend to be a bit lazy and sauté them in some coconut oil as an after thought, perhaps with powdered garlic or a smashed clove of fresh. Or maybe even some flavoured salt sprinkled over last minute. My current favourite has bacon in it.
Then one particular day recently I decided to switch it up a bit and elevate those greens further towards centre stage by cooking them in their own sauce. The boy was out of the house, so I retrieved the turmeric and ginger from the back of the cupboard and in it went. A bit more attention works really well – a creamy consistency with garlic and healing spices is truly satisfying, especially when you put a spoonful onto some freshly toasted Mission Heirloom’s Yucan Crunch. Nom!

Wow, Kate. You really knocked it out of the park with this recipe! I made this tonight to accompany Mickey’s ginger baked salmon and some parsnips that I simmered in turkey bone broth and mashed … I was concerned that the flavors were going to be all over the map, but everything worked really well together. I will definitely be making this again. In fact, I doubled the recipe and am pumped to have leftovers! Thank you so much for another stellar recipe 🙂
Aww thanks so much Kristen, I’m really pleased you enjoyed it. Serving with ginger salmon and parsnips sounds perfect to me – in fact I might do that myself 😉
