This is just a quick one guys - because that's what this dish is - quick (the antithesis, you might therefore see it, to my time-consuming salad). The kale and walnuts were bought for the original salad - everything else was in my store cupboard, spice rack or fridge.
Kale & Walnut Pilaf
Boil a saucepan and put in your desired quantity of brown rice - this usually takes about half an hour to cook; white rice is quicker if you really do want something speedy. Heat some oil in a pan, and add some mustard and cumin seeds. Once they start to pop, add your kale and let it wilt for a couple of minutes. Then add in a can of cannellini or butterbeans, the walnuts, some chopped coriander or any other herb you might have around, and three cloves of crushed garlic. Give that a bit of a mix before adding some dried chilli flakes. Drain your rice and mix it into your kale pan - add some celery salt, ground cumin, smoked paprika and ground turmeric. At this point, I cubed up some feta and stirred this in too - it melts a bit but that's not a bad thing. You're done - serve with some natural yoghurt dolloped on top for a spicy, aromatic and rewarding dish.
