Soccas With Kale And Raisins Recipes

Steps:

• Heat a large straight-sided skillet over medium heat until hot. Add the oil, shallots, garlic and pepper flakes, if using, then season with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir with a wooden spoon until the shallots are soft and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add the olives and raisins and stir to combine. Add the chopped escarole and season with the remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt. Stir to combine and coat the escarole in the flavors. Cover with the lid and allow to steam for 5 minutes. Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring often, until the liquid has evaporated and the greens are tender, another 3 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:

• Preheat oven to 450°F. Bring vinegar and 1/3 cup water to a simmer in a small pot. Remove from heat. Add raisins, cover, and let sit until ready to use.
• Divide squash, thyme, and garlic between 2 rimmed baking sheets; arrange in a single layer. Toss with 2 Tbsp. oil, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. pepper. Roast 12 minutes. Toss, then add hazelnuts to 1 section of 1 sheet. Continue to roast until hazelnuts are toasted and browned and squash is tender and cooked through, about 6 minutes more.
• Whisk ricotta and cream in a medium bowl until smooth. Add 6 oz. mozzarella, 3/4 tsp. salt, and remaining 1/2 tsp. pepper and whisk to combine. Remove thyme leaves from stems and add to cheese mixture. Coarsely chop garlic, add to cheese mixture, and stir to combine.
• Transfer hazelnuts to a large bowl. Add panko, 2 Tbsp. oil, and remaining 1/2 tsp. salt and toss to combine. Set aside 1/4 cup panko mixture.
• Drain raisins. Add kale, squash, and raisins to remaining panko mixture in large bowl and toss to combine.
• Grease 2-qt. baking dish with oil. Add half of squash mixture, then dollop with half of cheese mixture. Top with remaining squash mixture, then dollop with remaining cheese mixture. Top with remaining 2 oz. mozzarella and reserved 1/4 cup panko.
• Bake casserole until mozzarella is melted and browned in spots and edges are bubbling, 12-15 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.

Steps:

• Mix kale, red onion, and raisins in a large bowl.
• Whisk yogurt, mayonnaise, sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice together in a bowl; pour over the kale mixture and toss to coat. Refrigerate 2 hours to overnight. Sprinkle sunflower seeds over the salad and toss to serve.

Steps:

• Place the raisins in the cider and allow to soak about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, rinse and drain the kale. Remove any very heavy stems, and chop the kale coarsely.
• Heat oil in a large, heavy skillet. Add garlic and saute over medium heat until barely golden. Add the kale and stir-fry over medium heat until it begins to wilt, about five minutes.
• Stir in the raisins and the cider. Reduce heat to low. Cover and cook until the kale is just tender, about five minutes longer. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and stir in the cider vinegar. Serve at once or set aside for up to 30 minutes, then reheat briefly before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Beat the eggs and mix the with the oil, walnuts, raisins and coconut. Add the baking powder. Pour the mixture into a lightly oiled pan (it should be thin, maybe about a half inch).
• Put the pan in the oven and bake until the edges are starting to brown (15 to 20 minutes).
• While the cake is baking, melt the sugar in the water and simmer until it starts to become syrupy. When you remove the cake from the oven, pour the syrup over it while it is still hot.
• Turn the oven off and put the cake back inside of the oven to cool. After about 30 to 45 minutes, take it out of the oven and refrigerate for an hour or two.
• Pour the whipping cream into a mixing bowl and whip until stiff peaks form, then add the confectioner's sugar and the vanilla. Whip a little more to blend.
• Take the cake out of the fridge and gently spread the whipped cream on top. Serve cold.
