Kale with Sesame, steamed Taro and Radicchio Salad

GET

1 bunch of Kale /Black Toscana (cavolo nero)
2 gloves of garlic
Fresh garlic, peeled, sliced
Half of a small lemon/ lime, juice
Same amount of tahini
Sesame seeds
Olive oil

Taro steamed

Radicchio/ Italian chicory 

DO

Wash and dry the dark green, crinkled, strap-like leaves of kale. Heat oil. Cut kale from the bottom up in small pieces, sauté bottom stems in olive oil first, then add chopped leaves. Add garlic and toss for a few minutes. Cover and cook for another few minutes.

Place the vegetables in a shallow casserole. Mix the lemon juice and tahini and cover evenly. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and bake till the seeds are golden. The dish is best consumed on the same day, as reheating dries the kale out.

Serve with steamed taro and some finely sliced dark reddish-purple radicchio (Italian chicory/Witlof?) salad to alleviate insomnia.
