Kale, Turnip Greens and Ground Beef Curry Recipe


We had a lot of greens in the house and we needed something to do with them. This ad-hoc curry turned out to be just the think. I'd never really heard of making a curry with ground meat until I read Vij's cookbook and although this recipe isn't from that book, but rather, Alexis' head, it turned out quite well.

-1 lb ground beef
-1/2 onion, chopped
-10 cloves garlic, peeled
-1 can diced tomatos
-salt, curry and turmeric to taste
-turnip greens from 4 turnips, chopped
-1 bunch kale, chopped

Sautee the ground beef until beginning to brown. Drain excess fat. Puree the onion, garlic and tomatoes in the food processor until smooth and add to the pan. Add the spices. Stir to combine. Add the greens, cover and simmer for about 20 minutes. Remove the cover and simmer until a thick sauce has formed.

Dinner at Home


Kale and Spinach Sauteed with Garlic
A very simple side dish.

-1 bunch kale, thinly sliced
-3 cups spinach
-4 cloves garlic, minced
-salt and pepper to taste
-a squeeze of lemon

Sautee the garlic in a bit of olive oil until beginning to brown. Add the kale and sautee until wilted and tender. Add the spinach and sautee another 30 seconds. Season and serve.


Chili Rubbed Baby Back Ribs
We cook these in the Ron Popeil "Set it and forget it" Showtime Rotisserie Grill for exactly 38 minutes. We parboil them for 15 minutes prior, then rub them with Alexis' no-fail wet rub and in less than an hour we have succulent, spicy ribs. For some reason, today the ribs were a bit tougher than usual. We didn't do anything differently, so we can only assume it was the ribs themselves.
