KALE AND QUINOA PATTIES RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Whisk 3 eggs until smooth. Combine egg mixture with quinoa, Parmesan, green onion, salt and cayenne pepper in a medium mixing bowl.
• Heat 2 Tbsp olive oil in skillet on medium heat then sauté onions and jalapeño for approximately 2 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute before adding kale to skillet. Cook until kale is bright green and soft.
• Add kale mixture to quinoa mixture, then add breadcrumbs and stir to combine.
• Place a clean skillet on medium heat and add enough oil to coat the bottom.
• Form patties using ½ cup of quinoa mixture and place patties on a baking sheet. If you are having trouble forming patties because the mixture is too loose, add 1-2 Tbsp flour.
• Using a spatula, transfer the prepared patties to the skillet, being careful not to splash hot oil or overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown on each side, 3-4 minutes per side.
• Remove patties from the skillet and let drain on a paper towel. To ensure the patties are fully cooked, pop them in the oven for 8-10 minutes. Serve with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt!

KALE PATTIE

Steps:

• Boil kale in salted water for 10 minutes; drain.
• Soak bread rolls; squeeze dry.
• Chop the kale and rolls together finely.
• Add flour, egg, onion, salt and pepper and enough crumbs to make a stiff dough.
• Form into patties.
• Roll into remaining bread crumbs; brown in shortening.

MASHED POTATOES WITH KALE

Steps:

• For the potatoes: Combine the potatoes, garlic, salt and butter in a 5-quart saucepan with enough cold water to cover. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain in a colander and remove the garlic cloves. Return the potatoes to the pan and mash the potatoes until smooth using a potato masher.
• For the kale: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, salt and pepper. Cook until translucent, about 6 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until aromatic, about 30 seconds. Add the kale and chicken broth. Cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted, 10 to 12 minutes.
• To assemble: Add the kale mixture, mascarpone cheese, chicken broth, butter, Parmesan, salt and pepper to the potatoes. Stir over low heat until smooth and warmed through. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl and serve.

KALE & QUINOA PATTIES

Steps:

• Put the quinoa in a saucepan and pour over the hot stock. Simmer for 18-20 mins over a gentle heat until the grains have fluffed up and the liquid has disappeared. Remove from the heat and allow to cool. Meanwhile, bring a large saucepan of water to the boil. Add the kale and simmer for 6-8 mins until cooked through. Drain, squeeze out any excess water and set aside.
• Put 1 tbsp olive oil in a small frying pan over a medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 2-3 mins until translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 1 min more. Tip the cooked quinoa into a bowl and add the kale, onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, egg and sundried tomatoes. Season well and mix to combine. Set aside.
• To make the pesto, put the basil, parsley, garlic, pine nuts and Parmesan in a small food processor. Pulse, slowly pouring in the oil, until you have a thick pesto. Squeeze in the lemon juice to loosen, then set aside.
• Gently heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a shallow frying pan. Using your hands, form the quinoa mixture into 8 round patties. Add to the frying pan and fry for 4-5 mins each side until crisp and golden.
• Heat the grill to high and put a slice of goat's cheese on top of each patty. Place under the grill to brown and melt the cheese slightly - this will take a matter of seconds, so keep an eye on them. Top each patty with a generous spoonful of pesto and serve with some fresh green leaves, if you like.

KALE AND QUINOA PATTIES WITH HERB DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Cook onion and garlic, stirring frequently, until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add kale; cook until wilted, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Place quinoa, feta cheese, bread crumbs, lentils, eggs, 1 tablespoon parsley, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix to fully combine. Mix in the kale mixture. Form into patties by hand.
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties, covered, until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side.
• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Transfer the skillet to the oven; broil the patties until top is crispy, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Combine mayonnaise, basil, 1 tablespoon parsley, dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in bowl to make the sauce. Dollop onto the patties and serve.

MASHED POTATO AND KALE CAKES

Steps:

• In a large pot, bring potatoes to a boil in salted water over high, then reduce to a rapid simmer. Add leek and kale and cook until potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife, about 10 minutes. Drain; transfer to a large bowl.
• In a large cast-iron or nonstick skillet, cook bacon over medium-high until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer to bowl with vegetables. Season with salt and pepper. With a fork, mash potato mixture until a few lumps remain. With your hands, form into 12 patties.
• Pour off fat from skillet and wipe clean; add butter and melt over medium. In batches, cook cakes until golden on both sides, about 6 minutes, flipping once.

ST. PATTY MELT

Steps:

• Remove tender, leafy parts of kale and mustard greens from their tough stems and place in a large bowl. Cover with cold water and wash greens, allowing dirt to sink to the bottom. Transfer greens into a colander or strainer to drain thoroughly.
• Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a rolling boil over high heat. Add drained kale and mustard greens, using a spatula to make sure they are immersed. Bring back to a boil; cook until barely tender and not soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and let cool until easily handled.
• While greens are cooling, heat 3 tablespoons butter in a pan over medium heat. Saute garlic, green onions, and salt until they soften and turn translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in black pepper and cayenne.
• Squeeze water from cooled greens and chop. Add greens to the pan and continue to cook and stir until just heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Taste and adjust for seasoning. Remove from heat and stir in rice vinegar.
• Heat about 2 tablespoons butter in a pan over medium-low heat. Add 2 slices French bread; place 1/4 of the Irish Cheddar cheese on top. Place about 1/2 cup of braised greens on 1 slice of bread; top with remaining bread slice, cheese side-down. Cook, flipping as needed, until surface is golden brown and crisp, cheese is melted, and greens are heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Repeat with remaining bread, cheese, and greens. Remove to a cutting board, slice in half at a slight angle, and serve.
