Preparation

Step 1

step 1

ingredients 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil (plus more for drizzling)
2 shallots (chopped - about 1 cup)
1 serrano chile (chopped)
4 cloves garlic (chopped)
sea salt
1 medium head cauliflower (florets and stems cut into 1-inch pieces)
4 1/2 cup water

instructions Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat; add the onion and cook, covered, until soft, 4 to 5 minutes. Add garlic, serrano chile, and a pinch of salt, and cook for 3 minutes more until chile has softened a bit. Add cauliflower, and pour in water until it reaches just below the top of the cauliflower.

step 2

ingredients 2 tablespoon chopped fresh dill (plus more for garnish)
3 bunches kale (ends removed and leaves roughly chopped)
3 bunches collard greens (ends removed and leaves roughly chopped)

instructions Bring to a boil over high heat and add 2 tablespoons dill. Reduce heat to low, and simmer until cauliflower is tender, about 10 minutes. When cauliflower is tender add in the greens, and simmer for 3 minutes.

step 3

ingredients 2 tablespoon dill
fresh ground black pepper
chopped dates (for garnish)
Olive oil

instructions Let sit for 5 minutes to cool slightly. Stir in remaining 2 tablespoons dill. Using a immersion or regular blender, puree until very smooth, adding more water (about 1/2 cup) if it’s too thick. Return to pot, and reheat. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with dill, black pepper, a drizzle of oil, chopped dates and pinch of sea salt.
