Categories     Side Dish

Time 20m

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, peeled and sliced

1/2 cup stock, white wine or water, plus more as needed
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt or more to taste
Half of a lemon

  • Taste and adjust with additional salt, and then finish by stirring in the juice from half a lemon.

Here's a snappy, fresh side dish or a light supper: a lemony green salad, rich with tang and crunch. The dressing is nothing more than lemon juice, olive oil, garlic and salt. Its simplicity makes it perfect.

Provided by Julia Moskin

Categories     dinner, lunch, quick, salads and dressings

Time 25m

Yield 8 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups sliced almonds
1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (from 2 to 4 lemons)
Kosher salt
1 1/2 cups extra-virgin olive oil
4 cloves garlic, crushed with the flat side of a knife, peeled and left whole
10 to 12 ounces washed and dried kale leaves, thick stems removed (weight after trimming)
1 1/2 cups freshly grated Parmesan (optional)

Steps:

  • In a toaster oven or skillet, toast almonds until golden brown and fragrant. Set aside to cool.
  • In a bowl, combine lemon juice and 1 heaping teaspoon salt. Slowly whisk in olive oil. Add garlic cloves and set aside to steep.
  • Working in batches, cut the kale into thin ribbons: gather a large handful of leaves, bunch together tightly, and use the other hand to slice into 1/4-inch-thick pieces. This need not be done very precisely or neatly; the idea is to end up with a kind of slaw. (Recipe can be made up to this point 1 day ahead. Keep kale and dressing refrigerated separately.)
  • Place chopped kale in a very large bowl. Sprinkle surface with almonds and then with cheese, if using. Remove and discard garlic cloves from dressing. Pour half the dressing over the salad and toss. Taste for dressing and salt and add more as needed, tossing to coat thoroughly. Serve within 1 hour.

Make and share this Sautéed Kale & Red Onions With Garlic and Lemon recipe from Food.com.

Provided by dicentra

Categories     Greens

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 cups kale (about 1 large bunch)
1 quart boiling water, for blanching kale
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 small red onion, sliced into thin rings
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed

Steps:

  • Tear the leaves off the kale into bite-size pieces. Slice the stems into 1 inch long pieces.
  • Blanch the stems for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove, place in a strainer, quickly rinse under cold water to halt cooking.
  • Blanch the kale leaves for 1 to 2 minutes, and rinse in a strainer under cold water. Drain.
  • Heat the oil in a medium skillet and sauté the garlic for 1 minute. Saute the onions for 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add the kale leaves, stems and shoyu soy sauce. Sauté for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Sprinkle the lemon juice over and toss to mix. Serve immediately after adding the lemon juice or the leaves may loose their bright green color.

Tips:

  • Choose the right kale. Look for kale with dark, tender leaves and avoid any leaves with yellow or brown spots.
  • Wash the kale thoroughly. Kale can be dirty, so it's important to wash it well before using it.
  • Remove the tough stems. The stems of kale can be tough and fibrous, so it's best to remove them before cooking.
  • Use a large skillet or wok. Kale cooks down a lot, so it's important to use a large skillet or wok to prevent it from overcrowding.
  • Cook the kale over medium-high heat. This will help to quickly wilt the kale and prevent it from becoming tough.
  • Add garlic and lemon juice. Garlic and lemon juice are a classic combination that pairs perfectly with kale.
  • Season to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste.
  • Serve immediately. Sautéed kale is best served immediately, while it's still hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Sautéed kale with garlic and lemon is a quick, easy, and healthy dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great way to get your daily dose of vitamins and minerals. With its slightly bitter flavor and tender texture, sautéed kale is a delicious and nutritious side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
