KALE AND ROASTED-POTATO SALAD



Kale and Roasted-Potato Salad image

Although kale is available year-round, it's typically sweetest from midwinter through spring. Related to broccoli and cauliflower, kale is loaded with many of the same cancer-fighting phytochemicals. Potatoes offer complex carbohydrates and generous doses of potassium, iron, and vitamin B6. Leave the skin on for extra fiber.

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 pounds small potatoes, such as Red Bliss or fingerling, sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 red onion (10 ounces), halved and thinly sliced
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest, plus 2 tablespoons juice (from 2 lemons)
1 garlic clove, thinly sliced
1 pound kale, trimmed, cut into large pieces (about 16 cups), and rinsed well, water still clinging to leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Combine potatoes, onion slices, 1 tablespoon oil, and 3/4 teaspoon salt on a rimmed baking sheet. Season with pepper, and toss. Spread mixture in a single layer (use a second sheet if necessary). Roast, stirring potatoes and scraping bottom of sheet about every 10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until potatoes are brown and crisp, 40 to 45 minutes.
  • Combine mustard and lemon zest and juice in a bowl. Heat remaining 2 teaspoons oil in a large straight-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic, and cook, stirring constantly, until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Add kale, and cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted, about 6 minutes. Add mustard-lemon mixture; toss to coat. Cook until heated through. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt, and season with pepper. Toss with potatoes.

WILTED KALE AND ROASTED-POTATO WINTER SALAD



Wilted Kale and Roasted-Potato Winter Salad image

For those who've not already jumped on board, it's time to embrace kale! It stars in this hearty potato salad, versatile enough for a stand-alone meal or an accompaniment to pork tenderloin. Strip the kale quickly by turning the leaf upside down, grasping the top of the stem with one hand, and wrapping the other hand around the stem just below. Pull the leaf down with your lower hand; it will easily peel away. Then, save time by preparing the tahini dressing as the seasoned potatoes roast in the oven.

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces
1/3 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
4 garlic cloves, 3 thinly sliced and 1 minced
1/3 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
1/4 cup well-stirred tahini
2 tablespoons water
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3/4 pound kale, stems and center ribs discarded and leaves very thinly sliced crosswise
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F, with the rack in the upper third.
  • Toss the potatoes with the oil and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and the pepper in a large 4-sided sheet pan, then spread evenly. Roast, stirring once, 10 minutes. Stir in the sliced garlic and roast 10 minutes more. Sprinkle with the cheese and roast until the cheese is melted and golden in spots, about 5 minutes more.
  • Purée the tahini, water, lemon juice, minced garlic, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt in a blender until smooth, about 1 minute. (Add a bit more water if sauce is too thick.)
  • Toss the kale with the hot potatoes (to wilt the leaves) and any garlic and oil remaining in pan, then toss with tahini sauce and salt and pepper to taste.

Tips:

  • Massage the kale: Massaging the kale with a little olive oil or dressing helps to soften the leaves and make them more tender.
  • Don't overcook the kale: Wilted kale should be cooked just until it is wilted, but still has a bit of a bite to it.
  • Use a variety of toppings: Wilted kale salad is a great way to use up leftover roasted vegetables, nuts, seeds, and cheese.
