Best 4 Lemony Kale And Radish Saute Recipes

LEMON GARLIC SAUTEED KALE

Steps:

• Rinse the kale, and then pull the leaves from the stems. Discard the stems or save to add to homemade stock another day. Coarsely chop kale leaves into randomly shaped pieces, about 2 inches large.
• Heat the olive oil in a wide skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil shimmers, add the garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring often, until the garlic is soft, but before it browns.
• Add the chopped kale leaves, stock, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Cook, tossing the kale around the pan occasionally, until the kale turns bright green, is soft and is wilted, about 7 to 8 minutes. If before the kale is tender, the liquid evaporates, add a little bit more to the pan.
• Taste and adjust with additional salt, and then finish by stirring in the juice from half a lemon.

LEMON-GARLIC KALE SALAD

Steps:

• In a toaster oven or skillet, toast almonds until golden brown and fragrant. Set aside to cool.
• In a bowl, combine lemon juice and 1 heaping teaspoon salt. Slowly whisk in olive oil. Add garlic cloves and set aside to steep.
• Working in batches, cut the kale into thin ribbons: gather a large handful of leaves, bunch together tightly, and use the other hand to slice into 1/4-inch-thick pieces. This need not be done very precisely or neatly; the idea is to end up with a kind of slaw. (Recipe can be made up to this point 1 day ahead. Keep kale and dressing refrigerated separately.)
• Place chopped kale in a very large bowl. Sprinkle surface with almonds and then with cheese, if using. Remove and discard garlic cloves from dressing. Pour half the dressing over the salad and toss. Taste for dressing and salt and add more as needed, tossing to coat thoroughly. Serve within 1 hour.

SAUTEED KALE WITH GARLIC AND LEMON

Steps:

• On a cutting board, trim kale by folding a leaf in half lengthwise (at the stem); use a sharp paring knife to slice away from stem; discard stem. Tear leaves into small pieces; rinse in a large colander.
• Cook kale in a large pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Drain well.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Add kale; season generously with coarse salt and ground pepper. Cook, stirring often, until wilted and tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Sprinkle with lemon juice; toss to combine. Serve immediately.
