Ingredients

Kale Rolls

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 cup cooked chickpeas
  • 1 1/2 cup vegetable broth
  • 1/2 wild or brown rice (I use a mixture of brown and wild that also has wheat berries and rye in it)
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 large kale leaves

Salsa

  • 1 20-oz can crushd pineapple packed in 100% juice, drained
  • 1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
  • 1 jalapeno, seeded and chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lime zest
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon sugar

Directions

To make kale rolls: Heat oil in small saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until softened. Add chickpeas, broth, rice, cumin, paprika, and salt; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until all liquid is absorbed and rice is cooked.

Trim thick stems from center of kale leaves. Blanch kale in salted boiling water for 2-3 minutes.  Remove and immediate dunk into an ice water bath to stop cooking.  Place in colander to drain until ready to use.

When filling is cooked, Place 1 large or 2 small overlapping kale leaves on work surface with tip away from you. Pull together cut edges where stem was removed to overlap. Spoon a generous portion of the chickpea mixture in center of bottom of leaf. Fold in sides, and roll up leaf to tip. Repeat with remaining kale and filling.

To make salsa: Stir together all ingredients in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper, if desired. Serve kale rolls with salsa.

This recipe fed 2.5 hungry Hinds’ but could be stretched to serve 4.

      Hi Megan, thanks for visiting my blog! They were great! I changed them up from the Vegetarian Times recipe, though. They didn’t say to blanch the kale, but we wanted it cooked. I also added a wild rice-wheat berry mix instead of plain white rice to the filling. It was a great complete meal that even my non-veg chef husband loved.

Bus stop selfie with Nora. This week she moved from her tiny charter school with only 18 eighth graders to the public middle school with over 200. And now she rides the bus.

The charter school wasn't challenging her enough, has a huge percentage of students who are disruptive in the classroom, and has been having trouble keeping teachers. Last year she loved it. But this year it was one thing after another, so right before Thanksgiving she and I went to go tour our neighborhood  middle school, and she immediately wanted to make the switch.

We've never had a kid in public school and I was nervous about how the transition would go from such a small school to a big one, but so far she's loving it and is glad she decided to move schools. It helps that she knows kids there already from her dance team. Hopefully she'll still be happy when she starts getting homework. Coming from a no homework school that may be a shock to us all.

Halloween 2022. Two witches, a murderous cat, and a creepy Victorian doll. 

Zara's costume was my favorite this year - Nora did her makeup and she wore my flower girl dress from my mom and step-dad's wedding. She might have worn it better. 😂
