This easy, healthy recipe for sautéed kale is delicious. As the kale cooks in the pan, it wilts, turns bight green, and becomes tender. Kale may sound like a boring side, but this is one of our favorite side dishes to make.

Provided by Adam and Joanne Gallagher

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
Pinch red pepper flakes
1 large bunch kale (7 to 8 cups chopped leaves)
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

Steps:

  • Rinse the kale, and then pull the leaves from the stems. Discard the stems or save to add to homemade stock another day. Coarsely chop kale leaves into randomly shaped pieces, about 2 inches large.
  • Heat the olive oil in a wide skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil shimmers, add the garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring often, until the garlic is soft, but before it browns.
  • Add the chopped kale leaves, stock, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Cook, tossing the kale around the pan occasionally, until the kale turns bright green, is soft and is wilted, about 7 to 8 minutes. If before the kale is tender, the liquid evaporates, add a little bit more to the pan.
  • Taste and adjust with additional salt, and then finish by stirring in the juice from half a lemon.

LEMON-GARLIC KALE SALAD



Lemon-Garlic Kale Salad image

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.

This recipe from 1992 was ahead of the curve on the kale trend. It gives a good basic preparation for this now ubiquitous leafy green: trim, blanch, drain, sautée (do not overcook), then serve immediately and often.

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/4 cup olive oil

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, young kale for the best flavor and texture.
