Time 35m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 bunch dinosaur kale
2 chicken breasts
1 cup day old sourdough bread or country bread, torn into chunks
3 oil-packed anchovy fillets, minced
2 tsp olive oil
2 tbsp olive oil
1 large garlic clove, minced
1 tsp paprika
3/4 tsp (or more) kosher salt
1 tsp dried rosemary
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp dried basil
1 large egg yolk
1 tsp dried oregano
1 1/2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/4 tsp garlic powder or dried garlic bits
3/4 tsp Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 tsp pepper
2 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp parmesan

Steps:

  • De-rib kale by removing hard stems. Thoroughly wash in salad spinner or large bowl, spin or pat dry.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Mound anchovies, garlic and salt on a cutting board. Using the side of a chef's knife, mash and chop until well combined, then continue to work mixture, holding knife blade at an angle, until a smooth paste forms.
  • Tear or chop kale into bite sized pieces.
  • Using a meat mallet, pound chicken to 1.5 cm/0.6" at the thickest part.
  • In a large bowl, combine bread, olive oil, salt and pepper. Toss.
  • Whisk egg yolk, lemon juice and mustard in a medium bowl. Add anchovy mixture and mix until combined. Place a kitchen towel in a medium saucepan, then place bowl in pan.
  • In a medium bowl, add kale, a small amount of oil and a pinch of salt. Massage kale with hands for 30 seconds or so to break down tough fibres. Add dressing and mix thoroughly.
  • Mix seasoning and roughly 2 tsp oil in a medium bowl (feel free to adjust the herbs listed in the ingredient list). Add chicken to bowl and toss to coat.
  • Spread the bread cubes out on a sheet pan, giving them plenty of space in between. Bake the bread cubes for about 10 minutes, or until slightly golden brown and crisp.
  • Adding drop by drop to start and whisking constantly, drizzle a few drops of oil into yolk mixture. Continue to whisk, gradually adding oil in a slow, steady stream.
  • Add croutons and place desired amount of sliced chicken on salad.
  • Line baking sheet with foil and place chicken on tray. Bake 18 minutes, or until internal temperature reads 165 degrees Fahrenheit, using a meat thermometer.
  • Once oil is completely incorporated, add Parmesan and black pepper and mix. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, if needed.
  • Salad can be topped with vegetarian options like roasted sweet potato or roasted chickpeas if desired.
  • Remove from oven and wait 3-5 minutes before slicing.

KALE CAESAR SALAD



Kale Caesar Salad image

Provided by Anne Burrell

Categories     appetizer

Time 20m

Yield Serves 2 to 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

Extra virgin olive oil
4 cloves garlic, smashed
Pinch of crushed red pepper
2 slices of day-old Italian bread, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/2 cup grated Parmigiano
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 to 3 anchovy fillets
2 shakes Worcestershire sauce
Kosher salt
1 bunch of kale, tough stems removed, cut into ribbons

Steps:

  • Coat a large saute pan with olive oil. Toss in half the garlic and the crushed red pepper and bring the pan to medium heat. Cook the garlic until it becomes golden and very aromatic, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the garlic and ditch it-it has fulfilled its garlic destiny. Toss in the bread cubes and cook, stirring frequently, until they are golden, crisp, and have absorbed all the oil, like little olive oil sponges. Remove from the heat and reserve.
  • In the bowl of a food processor, combine the Parmigiano, lemon zest and juice, the remaining garlic, the Dijon, anchovies, and Worcestershire. Puree until the mixture is smooth, 15 to 20 seconds. With the machine running, add 1/4 to 1/3 cup olive oil through the feed tube. Let the processor continue to run for another 10 to 15 seconds. Taste and season with salt if needed.
  • In a large bowl, toss the kale with the croutons and two-thirds of the dressing. Let the kale sit for 3 to 4 minutes to soften. Taste, add the remaining dressing, and adjust the seasoning if needed.

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
4 anchovy fillets
2 cloves garlic
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, if needed
1/2 loaf crusty French bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic
Kosher salt
1 bunch curly-leaf kale (10 to 12 leaves), sliced into small pieces
4 roasted chicken breasts, recipe follows, sliced
One 3-ounce piece Parmesan
12 chicken breasts
Olive oil, for drizzling
2 teaspoons ground thyme
2 teaspoons ground oregano
2 teaspoons paprika
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the dressing: Add the mustard, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, anchovies, garlic and lemon juice to a blender or food processor. Pulse the processor or blend on low speed for several seconds. Scrape the sides and pulse again until everything is fairly smooth. With the food processor or blender running, drizzle in the olive oil in a small stream. Scrape the sides and mix again to thoroughly combine. Add the cheese and pulse to combine. Taste, adding salt and pepper if needed. Refrigerate the dressing for a few hours before using it on the salad.
  • For the croutons: Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
  • Put the bread cubes on a baking sheet. Heat the olive oil in a small saucepan or skillet over low heat. Crush the garlic and add it to the oil, using a spoon to move the garlic around in the pan. After cooking 3 to 5 minutes, turn off the heat and remove the garlic from the pan.
  • Drizzle the olive oil over the bread cubes and mix together until the bread is well coated. Sprinkle lightly with salt. Bake, shaking the baking sheet occasionally, until the cubes are lightly browned and crisp, 45 minutes to an hour. Let cool.
  • For the salad: Put the kale in a bowl and add the sliced roasted chicken. Use a vegetable peeler to shave off large, thin slices of Parmesan over the leaves. Drizzle about half of the dressing over the top of the kale and toss gently to coat. Add the croutons and toss again. Add more dressing if needed. Shave more Parmesan over when serving.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Drizzle the chicken breasts with olive oil and sprinkle with the thyme, oregano, paprika and some salt and pepper. Put the chicken on a foil-lined roasting pan and roast until cooked through, 30 to 40 minutes.
