Kale With Garlic And Raisins Recipes

Steps:

• Cook 5 sliced garlic cloves in 1/4 cup olive oil in a pot over medium-low heat until sizzling, 1 minute. Add 1 pound chopped kale and stir until wilted, 3 to 5 minutes. Increase the heat to medium. Add 2 tablespoons cider vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring, until tender, 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Toss kale, raisins, and garlic with oil and salt. Spread on a baking sheet and roast until kale darkens slightly and raisins plump up, about 12 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:

• Soak kale leaves in a large bowl of water until dirt and sand begin to fall to the bottom, about 2 minutes. Lift kale from the bowl without drying the leaves and immediately remove and discard stems. Chop the kale leaves into 1-inch pieces.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir garlic until sizzling, about 1 minute. Add kale to the skillet and place a cover over the top.
• Cook, stirring occasionally with tongs, until kale is bright green and slightly tender, 5 to 7 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet set over medium heat. Add the raisins, pine nuts, red pepper flakes and garlic. Cook, swirling the skillet occasionally, until the pine nuts are toasted, about 2 minutes. Remove the ingredients from the oil with a slotted spoon and set aside.
• Add the kale stems to the skillet and cook, stirring, until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the kale leaves in batches, stirring to wilt each batch. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 cup water, cover and cook, stirring once, until tender, 7 to 10 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and add the lemon juice and the reserved pine nut mixture. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt.

Steps:

• Place a steamer insert into a saucepan, and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Cover, and bring the water to a boil over high heat. Add the kale, recover, and steam until just tender, 7 to 10 minutes depending on thickness.
• Whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. Toss steamed kale into dressing until well coated.
