KALE WITH ONION, CELERY, AND TOMATO
This recipe makes me want to eat more vegetables. It has a lot of flavor, isn't too difficult to prepare, and surprisingly gets better with reheating. Also try it with a little bit of hot sauce. I stole the recipe from my friend, Stephanie, who stole it from her dad.

BRAISED KALE
Kale: The ubiquitous dark and leafy green that people either love or love to hate. If you fall into the latter camp, this recipe for a savory-sweet variation adapted from North Pond, a restaurant in Chicago, might change your mind. It requires a bit more work than a typical garlic and olive oil sauté, but it's well worth it. Start with blanching the kale in a pot of boiling water (skip this if you don't mind your kale a bit more toothsome). Sauté some onion, carrot and celery in a little oil, then add 1/3 cup sherry vinegar and reduce. Toss in the kale with a little honey, chicken broth and salt and pepper, then cook until the leaves are tender. At this point, you can either go ahead and eat it, or do as they do at the restaurant: strain the liquid and reduce to make a flavorful sauce to pour over the greens.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, set aside a large bowl of ice water. Add kale to boiling water, return to a boil, and after 1 minute transfer to ice bath. Drain well, and set aside.
- In a large sauté pan, heat oil over low heat and sauté onion, carrot and celery until just softened. Add sherry vinegar and cook until reduced by two-thirds. Add kale and stir to coat, then add chicken broth, honey, 2 teaspoons salt and the pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook, partly covered, until kale is tender, 6 to 8 minutes.
- Transfer kale leaves to a warm bowl, leaving onion, carrot and celery in broth. Strain broth, discarding solids. If there is more than * cup, it may be boiled in a small saucepan until reduced. Adjust salt and pepper as needed, and pour over kale. Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours; gently reheat before serving.

SMOKY BRAISED KALE WITH TOMATO
This is a hack of a preparation the chef Travis Lett used at his restaurant Gjelina in Venice, Calif., as a pairing for a half-roasted chicken. With its deeply caramelized base of tomato paste and smoked paprika, the kale melts into velvety excellence that can stand on its own with a pile of rice or a baked potato. But it really shines brightly as a supporting player in a feast of poultry, pork or beef. Do two onions seem too many for you? Use one. This is a recipe really to make your own.

Steps:
- Place a large, heavy-bottomed, high-sided pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat and add olive oil. When it shimmers, add onions and garlic and cook until they soften and begin to turn translucent, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Add tomato paste and smoked paprika, reduce heat to medium, and cook, stirring frequently, until the paste begins to caramelize, about 5 to 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then add stock and vinegar, and allow to come to a boil.
- Add half the kale, cover, and cook for a minute or two, until it wilts. Repeat with remaining kale. Stir to incorporate the onion mixture into the soft kale and simmer until tender, 20 to 30 minutes, partly covered. Season to taste with salt and pepper, drizzle with a little more vinegar, and serve.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh, tender kale. If you can't find kale, you can substitute another leafy green, such as spinach or collard greens.
- Be sure to wash the kale thoroughly before using it. Kale can be gritty, so it's important to rinse it well to remove any dirt or debris.
- Chop the kale into bite-sized pieces. This will make it easier to eat and will help it cook evenly.
- You can use any type of onion you like in this recipe. Yellow onions are a good all-purpose choice, but you could also use red onions or white onions.
- If you don't have celery on hand, you can omit it from the recipe. However, celery adds a nice crunch and flavor to the dish.
- Use ripe, juicy tomatoes for the best flavor. You can use fresh tomatoes, canned tomatoes, or even sun-dried tomatoes.
- Season the dish to taste with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as oregano, basil, or thyme.
- Serve the kale immediately after cooking. It's best when it's still hot and slightly wilted.

This kale with onion, celery, and tomato is a simple but delicious side dish that can be enjoyed all year round.
