Pork, Kale, & Toasted Coconut Stir Fry


This is my husband's favorite thing I make, and he would eat it for every meal if I'd be willing to cook it that much 😂 He's even taken to sprinkling unsweetened coconut on random dishes now, in an effort to capture glimmers of this dish - so fair warning that this might be more of a hit in your household than you're ready for!

3 tbsp avocado oil (or vegetable oil of choice)
3 eggs, scrambled with a fork
1 small onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, very thinly sliced
1 large garlic clove, minced
2 cups loosely packed kale
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
1 lb sodium-free ground pork (make sure you check the Nutrition Facts! They love to add massive quantities of sodium to raw ground pork)
Juice of 1 lime
Fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
Sriracha, to taste

Heat oil in a saute pan or skillet on medium-high heat. Make sure the oil is nice and hot before you start, or the eggs will stick to the pan when you add them.

Set an empty medium-size bowl on an unused burner before you begin.

Pour scrambled eggs into the hot pan, stirring only as-needed to break them up into pieces. The more you stir them, the more likely it is they'll stick to the bottom of the pan. They will cook quickly, so you shouldn't need to mess with them much. Once cooked, pour eggs into the bowl you set aside on the stove.

To the saute pan, add onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Cook until soft and translucent, and then add the kale. Cook until kale starts to wilt and is soft. Dump on top of the cooked eggs.

Add unsweetened coconut flakes into the empty pan, and stir constantly to make sure they toast evenly and don'[t burn. Pour on top of the cooked veggies.

Add ground pork to the pan, and cook until no longer pink, breaking up into small pieces as it cooks. Once it has finished cooking, add everything in the bowl back into the pan for 1-2 minutes and stir to combine and heat through.

Remove from heat, and squeeze lime over it. Place in bowls, and garnish with chopped cilantro and Sriracha.
