Number Of Ingredients 10

1 small onion, cut into thin slices
2 garlic cloves, minced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup white wine
1 cup wild rice, soaked overnight in 4 cups water
1 bunch (4 cups) kale, midribs stripped, well dried and cut into 1/4-inch ribbons
1 ball (8 oz) fresh mozzarella
1/4 cup sour cream
1 lemon, zest and juice
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved

Steps:

  • Heat a glug of olive oil. Sweat the onion and garlic with the salt until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the white wine and reduce by half. Add the wild rice and the soaking liquid and cook until tender, about 45 minutes.
  • In a mixing bowl, sprinkle the kale with a pinch of salt. Massage the kale until it is dark green, limp, and tender in mouthfeel.
  • Tear the mozzarella into rough chunks. Combine with the sour cream, lemon zest and juice, a good pinch of salt, and a couple of grinds of black pepper.
  • When the wild rice is cooked, drain any residual liquid and let cool.
  • Toss the tomatoes, kale, and wild rice together with a couple glugs of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Dot with the creamed mozzarella and serve.
