Cod cooked with kale, ginger and garlic

cod on kale

This is an amazing recipe I accidentally discovered while browsing for kale dishes. I admit I have never tried kale before and I am very happy i decided to add it into my cooking list; its salty, earthy taste combined with more neutral ones can make a dish very interesting. I suppose it is usually boiled or steamed but here I tried it a different way.

Ingredients
 1 table spoon olive oil
2 gloves of garlic, grated
a piece of fresh ginger pealed and grated
250gr curly kale
1/2 cup white wine ( or rice wine)
2 tbsp of tamari sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil

First I heat the olive oil in a heavy based pan, then i add the ginger and garlic, stirring them until fragrant. I will then insert the kale and toss it around to coat  with the oil and pour in the wine. I cover the pan and let it simmer for about 8 min, until the kale is soft. I, then, remove the lid and place on top of the cooked kale the fish fillet and pour in the sesame oil and the tamari sauce. I let it cook for 7 to 10 min. I serve it on top of the kale and sprinkle some toasted sesame seeds on top.
