Instructies

PREP

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Cut cauliflower into bite-size pieces if necessary.

Cut ends off yellow onion and discard peel. Halve lengthwise; save one half for another use. Small dice remaining half into pieces, about ¼ inch each.

Mince garlic.

Remove and discard any thick center stems from lacinato kale. Roll leaves into a large cigar and slice across into ribbons, about 1/4 inch wide. Roughly chop ribbons.

*To quickly prep, hold the stem end with one hand; pinch and strip the leaves down and away with your other hand (like pulling a zipper!).

SEASON and ROAST CAULIFLOWER

Place cauliflower in a medium bowl (large bowl for 4 servings). Drizzle with 1½ tablespoons cooking oil. Season with ½ teaspoon salt and a pinch of pepper. Stir to coat.

Spread cauliflower out in a single layer on a lightly oiled, foil-lined baking sheet. Roast 18-20 minutes, or until fork-tender, stirring halfway through.

COOK PORK

Heat 1½ tablespoons cooking oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add ground pork to hot pot. Season with ¾ teaspoon Tuscan heat spice, ¼ teaspoon salt, and a pinch of pepper. (Reserve remaining Tuscan heat spice for another use.) Cook 3-4 minutes, or until lightly browned, breaking up pork into pieces.

ADD AROMATICS

Reduce heat under pot to medium. Add onion and garlic. Season with ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning. ¼ teaspoon salt, and a pinch of pepper. (Reserve remaining Italian seasoning for another use.) Cook 3-4 minutes, or until pork is fully cooked and onion is translucent, stirring occasionally.

SIMMER SOUP

Add coconut milk, tomato mushroom broth, and about ½ cup water to pot. Stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium low. Simmer for about 5 minutes, or until broth has slightly reduced, stirring occasionally.

*Refrigerating coconut milk may cause the cream to separate and solidify. Give the container a vigorous shake before opening to ensure it all comes together during cooking.

FINISH SOUP

Transfer roasted cauliflower to pot. Add kale. Cook 1-2 minutes, or until kale is lightly wilted, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve.
