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.

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 that is deep green and has no signs of wilting or yellowing. Curly kale or Lacinato kale (also known as dinosaur kale or Tuscan kale) are both good choices for this recipe.
  • Wash the kale thoroughly: Kale can have dirt and grit in its crevices, so be sure to wash it well before using. Soak the kale in a large bowl of cold water for a few minutes, then swish it around to loosen any dirt. Drain the kale and rinse it under cold running water.
  • Remove the tough stems: The tough stems of kale can be difficult to chew, so it's best to remove them before cooking. Hold the kale leaf by the stem and use your other hand to strip the leaves off the stem. Discard the stems.
  • Chop the kale into bite-sized pieces: This will help the kale cook evenly and make it easier to eat.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When sautéing the kale, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the kale from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to steam rather than sauté.
  • Season the kale to taste: Once the kale is cooked, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and other desired seasonings.

Conclusion:

Sautéed kale with red onions, garlic, and lemon is a quick, easy, and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of main courses. The kale is tender and flavorful, while the red onions and garlic add a bit of sweetness and pungency. The lemon juice brightens up the dish and adds a refreshing touch. This recipe is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables, and it's also a delicious way to use up leftover kale.
