Pressure Cooker Kale With Garlic And Lemon Food

INSTANT POT KALE RECIPE

Steps:

• Sort the kale in a large colander or bowl. You don't need to wash the kale thoroughly, you're mostly picking out the thick stems and any pieces that don't look fresh.
• Set the Instant Pot to Saute Low, add the olive oil and the garlic.
• Toss the kale into the pot as you sort it. Saute for one to two minutes, just enough to shrink the kale to fit into the pot and give it a little extra flavor.
• Add the liquid and pepper, seal the lid and set the pot to pressure cook for 4-6 minutes. If you like kale al dente, cook it for four minutes. If you like it very tender, cook it longer. I like mine soft, at the expense of a little color and volume.
• Once it's done, do a quick release to stop the veggie from overcooking as the pressure drops.
• If you want, now is the time to add a little more salt and pepper, vinegar, lemon juice, bacon, or even some grated Parmesan cheese.

GARLICKY, LEMONY KALE

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until translucent and soft. Add the kale and stir to coat with garlic and oil. Cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Place the lemon halves cut-side down in the pan and cook without moving until grill marks are visible, about 2 minutes.
• Toast the almonds in a small skillet over medium-high heat until fragrant and slightly golden brown, about 3 minutes.
• Transfer the kale to a serving bowl and squeeze a charred lemon half over the top. Sprinkle with the toasted almonds and pecorino shavings. Serve with the other lemon half on the side. Enjoy!

PRESSURE COOKER KALE GREENS

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a pressure cooker over medium heat. Stir in turkey bacon, onion, celery, and red pepper flakes; cook until turkey bacon is browned and onion is translucent, about 8 minutes. Stir in garlic; cook until fragrant, about 3 minutes more. Add kale gradually; cook and stir until just wilted, about 1 minute. Stir in chicken broth, balsamic vinegar, bouillon cubes, sugar, and pepper.
• Cover pressure cooker with lid and cook kale according to manufacturer's instructions, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and release pressure through natural release method. Open the pressure cooker carefully; stir in salt and hot pepper sauce.
