Best 5 Sauteed Kale With Smoked Paprika Recipes

SAUTéED GREENS WITH SMOKED PAPRIKA FOR TWO

Steps:

• Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and let it heat up for about 20 seconds. It will thin out to coat the pan. Stir in shallot slices and garlic, and cook until pale golden at the edges and softened, about 2 minutes. Add a big pinch of salt and the paprika. Give everything a stir.
• Add the greens to the pan, using tongs to toss everything well. Add broth, and let greens simmer, until very soft, about 3 minutes for tender greens, and up to 15 minutes for tougher, mature greens. If the greens still seem tough but the pan is dry, splash in a little water and let cook for another few minutes.
• Taste and adjust seasoning, if needed. Squeeze on a little lemon juice, if you like, then serve hot or warm.

SAUTéED KALE WITH ONION AND BACON

Steps:

• Stack a few kale leaves and roll them lengthwise into a cigar shape. Cut the leaves crosswise into 1/4 inch wide strips with a sharp knife. Repeat with the remaining kale leaves. (See note.)
• Heat the olive oil in a wide 6 to 8 quart pot over moderate heat. Add the bacon, and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned but still soft, then use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Pour off and discard all but 3 tablespoons of oil and fat from the pot, and then add the onion, garlic, and red pepper flakes, and cook over low heat, stirring, until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the kale, bacon, and smoked paprika to the pot, and cook, turning with tongs, until the kale is wilted and bright green, about 1 minute. Add the stock or water and simmer, partially covered, until the leaves are just tender, 6 to 10 minutes. Add the vinegar, and toss to combine; taste for seasonings, and add salt, pepper, or more vinegar as desired.

SMOKY BRAISED KALE WITH TOMATO

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.
