Kale With Garlic And Oven Roasted Parsnips Food

CRISPY ROASTED KALE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Arrange 3 oven racks evenly spaced in the oven.
• Lay each kale leaf on a board and, with a small sharp knife, cut out the hard stem. Tear large leaves in half. Place the kale in a large bowl of water and wash it well. Drain the kale and dry it in a salad spinner. Dry the bowl, and put the kale back in the bowl.
• Toss the kale with the olive oil, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Divide the kale among 3 sheet pans or roast them in batches. If you put too much kale on one pan, it will steam rather than roast and will never become crisp. Roast for 15 minutes, until crisp. Sprinkle with fleur de sel and serve hot.

EASY GARLIC KALE

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.

KALE AND PARSNIPS

Steps:

• Saute the onions and parsnips in oil for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
• Add the water and ginger. Cover and simer for 4 to 5 minutes.
• Add the kale and continue cooking 4 to 5 minutes longer. Stir occasionally but keep the saucepan covered otherwise. Serve hot.

SAUTEED KALE WITH GARLIC

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.

KALE WITH GARLIC AND OVEN-ROASTED PARSNIPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spread the parsnips on a large rimmed baking sheet and toss with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and roast in the bottom third of the oven for about 25 minutes, or until lightly browned on the bottom and tender.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add salt and then the kale and cook until just tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and then squeeze out the excess water. Coarsely chop the kale.
• Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet. Add the garlic and cook over moderate heat until golden, about 2 minutes. Add the scallions and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the kale, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until heated through, about 3 minutes.
• To serve, add the parsnips to the kale and warm through over moderate heat.
• Make Ahead: The kale and parsnips can be prepared through Step 2 and refrigerated overnight. Let return to room temperature before finishing.

ROASTED VEGETABLES WITH KALE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400ºF.
• In a large roasting pan, combine onions, potatoes, carrots, squash and mixed vegetables.
• In a small bowl, mix garlic paste with olive oil and pepper.
• Toss vegetables in the olive oil mixture, coating thoroughly.
• Cook for about 45 minutes, mixing occasionally, until vegetables are tender.
• In a large pot, cook kale over medium heat with just enough water to prevent it from burning.
• Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
• The kale should be wilted, and water evaporated.
• Mix the roasted vegetables with the kale and serve hot.

GARLIC KALE

Steps:

• Tear the kale leaves into bite-size pieces from the thick stems; discard the stems.
• Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook and stir the garlic in the hot oil until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the kale and continue cooking and stirring until the kale is bright green and wilted, about 5 minutes more.
