SAUTéED GREENS WITH SMOKED PAPRIKA FOR TWO



Sautéed Greens With Smoked Paprika for Two image

Soft slivers of garlic and shallots and a dash of smoked paprika give this verdant side dish its complexity and charm. You can make it with any greens you have on hand. Softer spinach and chard make for a silkier dish, while sturdy kale and collard greens give it more heft. Just adjust the cooking time as needed to make sure your greens are thoroughly tender.

Categories     vegetables, main course

Time 20m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large shallot, thinly sliced
1 large garlic clove, thinly sliced
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 small bunch greens, such as kale, chard, spinach or mustard greens, torn into bite-size pieces (about 6 cups)
1/4 cup turkey, chicken or vegetable broth, or use water, plus more as needed
Lemon wedges, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and let it heat up for about 20 seconds. It will thin out to coat the pan. Stir in shallot slices and garlic, and cook until pale golden at the edges and softened, about 2 minutes. Add a big pinch of salt and the paprika. Give everything a stir.
  • Add the greens to the pan, using tongs to toss everything well. Add broth, and let greens simmer, until very soft, about 3 minutes for tender greens, and up to 15 minutes for tougher, mature greens. If the greens still seem tough but the pan is dry, splash in a little water and let cook for another few minutes.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning, if needed. Squeeze on a little lemon juice, if you like, then serve hot or warm.

SMOKY BRAISED KALE WITH TOMATO



Smoky Braised Kale With Tomato image

This is a hack of a preparation the chef Travis Lett used at his restaurant Gjelina in Venice, Calif., as a pairing for a half-roasted chicken. With its deeply caramelized base of tomato paste and smoked paprika, the kale melts into velvety excellence that can stand on its own with a pile of rice or a baked potato. But it really shines brightly as a supporting player in a feast of poultry, pork or beef. Do two onions seem too many for you? Use one. This is a recipe really to make your own.

Categories     vegetables, side dish

Time 1h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 Spanish onions, peeled and diced
8 cloves garlic, peeled and thinly sliced
1/4 cup tomato paste
1 teaspoon hot smoked paprika (pimentón)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
3 cups turkey or chicken stock, ideally homemade or low-sodium
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar, plus more to taste
4 (3/4-pound) bunches washed kale (any kind), thick stems discarded or cut into thin strips, leaves cut into thick strips (about 16 packed cups total)

Steps:

  • Place a large, heavy-bottomed, high-sided pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat and add olive oil. When it shimmers, add onions and garlic and cook until they soften and begin to turn translucent, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Add tomato paste and smoked paprika, reduce heat to medium, and cook, stirring frequently, until the paste begins to caramelize, about 5 to 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then add stock and vinegar, and allow to come to a boil.
  • Add half the kale, cover, and cook for a minute or two, until it wilts. Repeat with remaining kale. Stir to incorporate the onion mixture into the soft kale and simmer until tender, 20 to 30 minutes, partly covered. Season to taste with salt and pepper, drizzle with a little more vinegar, and serve.

MY FAVORITE SAUTEED KALE



My Favorite Sauteed Kale image

I LOVE kale and this is how I like to make it almost every time. I'm a hot pepper flake chick, but if that's too much for you, just leave it out! Great as a side dish, but I can eat this as my main meal, maybe just add some chickpeas or cannelini beans in at the end, amazing!

SAUTEED KALE WITH SMOKED PAPRIKA

Provided by dicentra

Categories     Greens

Time 20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 cups packed kale, center ribs and stems removed, leaves coarsely chopped (from about 1 1/2 pounds)
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
3/4 cup chopped onion
1/4-1/2 teaspoon sweet smoked paprika (or hot)
1 pinch dry crushed red pepper

Steps:

  • Cook kale in large pot of boiling salted water until wilted, about 5 minutes. Transfer to colander; drain.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika and crushed red pepper; sprinkle with salt.
  • Add kale and sauté until heated through, about 4 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper and more smoked paprika, if desired.
  • Transfer to serving bowl; drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon oil and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right kale: Look for kale with dark, sturdy leaves. Avoid kale that is wilted or has yellow or brown spots.
  • Wash the kale thoroughly: Kale can be gritty, so it's important to wash it well before cooking. Rinse the kale under cold water and then shake it dry.
  • Remove the tough stems: The stems of kale can be tough and fibrous, so it's best to remove them before cooking. Simply hold the kale leaf by the stem and run a knife along the stem to remove it.
  • Chop the kale: Once the stems are removed, chop the kale leaves into bite-sized pieces.
  • Use a large skillet: Kale can wilt down quite a bit, so it's important to use a large skillet when cooking it. This will help to prevent the kale from overcrowding and steaming.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: When cooking kale, it's important to not overcrowd the skillet. This will help the kale to cook evenly and prevent it from getting soggy.
  • Season the kale: Kale has a slightly bitter taste, so it's important to season it well. Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder are all good options.
  • Cook the kale until it is tender: Kale should be cooked until it is tender, but still has a slight crunch. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes.
  • Serve the kale immediately: Sautéed kale is best served immediately. It can be served as a side dish or used as a topping for tacos, salads, or sandwiches.

Conclusion:

Sautéed kale is a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed all year round. It is a great way to get your daily dose of vitamins and minerals, and it can also help to boost your immune system. With its slightly bitter taste and tender texture, sautéed kale is a versatile dish that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. Whether you serve it as a side dish, a topping, or a main course, sautéed kale is sure to please everyone at the table.
