Aromatic Wilted Greens With Coconut Milk

This vibrant vegan dish of aromatic wilted greens with coconut milk brings a wonderful depth of flavour to your dinner table. By gently frying garlic, ginger, and fresh chilli in coconut oil, you create a fragrant base that perfectly complements the earthy notes of kale and collard greens. The addition of creamy coconut milk provides a silky finish, balancing the gentle heat from the spices and the bitterness of the dark leafy vegetables.

Ideal as a nutritious side or a light main served alongside steamed jasmine rice, this recipe is packed with vitamins and minerals. The contrast of the tender greens against the bright acidity of fresh lime makes it a sophisticated yet simple choice for a midweek meal. It is a fantastic way to enjoy seasonal greens while keeping your cooking entirely plant-based and gluten-free.

How to make Aromatic Wilted Greens With Coconut Milk

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium. Cook garlic, stirring, until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Add shallots, chilli, ginger, and two-thirds of spring onions. Season with salt; cook, stirring often, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add kale and collard greens a handful at a time, letting them wilt slightly before adding more. Cook, tossing occasionally, until greens are crisp-tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Add half of coconut milk and toss to coat.

Transfer greens to a serving bowl and top with remaining coconut milk and spring onions. Serve with lime wedges.
