Kale & Lentils
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 carrots, peeled + chopped
1/2 sweet yellow onion
1 large bunch tuscan kale
1 cup lentils
3 cloves garlic
4 cups vegetable broth
1 cup shiitake mushrooms, thinly sliced
Maple Sesame Ginger Sauce
3 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons tahini
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1/2 lemon, juiced

1
In a large cast iron skillet or saucepan, warm 1 tbs olive oil over medium heat. Add carrots, onions, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Saute until the onion is lightly brown and caramelized, roughly 12-15 minutes. Add chopped kale and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until leaves are tender. Remove the ingredients from the cast iron skillet and saucepan. Set aside.
2
In the same cast iron skillet or saucepan, mix lentils, garlic, and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until lentils are tender.
3
Meanwhile, in a separate small saucepan, warm 1 tbs olive oil over medium heat. Add shiitake mushrooms and heat for 2-3 minutes on medium heat, or until crispy and brown on one side. Flip the mushrooms and cook for another 2-3 minutes, crisping the other side.
4
Drain the lentils in a colander. Return to the cast iron skillet or saucepan with kale mixture.
5
To prepare the dressing mix together sesame oil, soy sauce, tahini, maple syrup, lemon, and ginger. Pour over the warm salad before serving.
