Braised Kale With Anchovies And Garlic Recipes

KALE WITH GARLIC, ANCHOVIES AND ALE

Steps:

• Heat extra-virgin olive oil in a small skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add the anchovies and let them melt into the oil. Add the chile and garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the kale and let it wilt, turning it in the chile and garlic with tongs. Douse the pan with the ale and toss for 1 to 2 minutes more, than add nutmeg, and salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer the kale to a serving bowl and serve.

BRAISED KALE WITH GARLIC AND RED WINE

Steps:

• Roughly chop the kale leaves into 1-inch pieces, then wash and drain throughly. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil 2 minutes. Add the garlic and lightly brown, then immediately add the kale. Turn the kale leaves to coat evenly with the olive oil and to prevent the garlic from burning on the bottom of the pan. Season with salt and pepper.
• Continue to saute the kale leaves 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and add the chicken stock. Cover the pan and cook the kale in the stock 5 minutes more. Remove the cover, add the red wine, and continue to braise the kale in the red wine and stock until nearly all of the liquid has evaporated. The entire cooking process will take 12 to 15 minutes, at which time the kale should be tender and the liquid cooked off.

BRAISED KALE WITH ANCHOVIES AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Submerge the kale in the boiling water and cook, stirring once or twice, for 4 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Heat the olive oil in a large pot over very low heat. Add the garlic, anchovies, salt, and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring frequently, until the anchovies have disintegrated and the garlic is just beginning to brown, about 10 minutes. Add the tomato paste and continue cooking, stirring constantly, until the tomato paste has turned a deep, brick-red color, about 10 minutes.
• Add the kale and 1/4 cup water to the pot and continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the kale and the tomato mixture have fully combined, all of the water has evaporated, and the kale is fully tender, about 10 minutes. If the water evaporates too quickly, add a few extra tablespoons so that the kale has time to cook fully. Serve immediately.

BRAISED LAMB WITH ANCHOVIES, GARLIC AND WHITE WINE

Steps:

• Cut lamb shoulder into 2-inch cubes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and brown in a large skillet over medium-high heat; remove.
• To the skillet, add shallot, garlic, and a few anchovy fillets; cook until fragrant. Add wine, stock or water and browned lamb. When the liquid boils, lower heat to a simmer, cover and cook until tender, 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours. Garnish: Parsley.

PASTA WITH ANCHOVIES, GARLIC, CHILES AND KALE

Steps:

• Bring a heavily salted pot of water to a boil. Cook pasta until al dente. Drain.
• Meanwhile, heat oil in the largest skillet you have. Add chiles and a pinch of salt and toast until golden, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Add smashed garlic, capers and anchovies. Let cook until everything is golden, the capers look crisp around the edges and the anchovies have dissolved into the oil, about 3 to 4 minutes. (You can help anchovies dissolve by mashing them with a wooden spoon as they cook.) Add kale and 2 tablespoons water and sauté until kale wilts and cooks in the pan and is well coated with oil, about 5 minutes. You might have to add more water if the water evaporates before the kale finishes cooking.
• Add drained pasta and toss well. Add more salt if necessary and plenty of black pepper, and serve drizzled with more oil and a squeeze of lemon if the dish needs a lift. Cheese isn't necessary but if you like Pecorino-Romano or Parmesan cheese, and have some on hand, feel free to shower it on top.
