Kale And Brussels Sprouts Salad With Pear And Halloumi Recipes

KALE AND BRUSSELS SPROUTS SALAD WITH PEAR AND HALLOUMI

Steps:

• Make the dressing: Set the garlic clove on a cutting board and use the side of a knife to smash it. Remove the paper skin, then run a knife through the garlic a few times until finely chopped. Gather the garlic into a pile and sprinkle a bit of kosher salt over the top. Hold the blunt side of the knife at an angle and use the blade to drag and smash the garlic and salt across the board. Repeat until it forms a smooth paste. Add it to a large bowl.
• Add 1/4 cup olive oil, the lemon juice and a few grinds of pepper to the bowl and whisk to combine. Add the sliced kale and, using clean hands, massage the dressing into the kale for 1 to 2 minutes.
• Add sliced brussels sprouts and pear, and gently toss until coated. Set aside.
• Pat the halloumi dry with a clean kitchen towel. Set a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add just enough oil to barely coat the bottom. Add the halloumi cubes to the hot oil and cook until the cheese is golden brown on one side, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip the cubes and continue to cook until they are golden all over. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cubes to a towel-lined plate.
• Toss the kale mixture one more time and season to taste with salt and pepper, keeping in mind that the halloumi is salty. Transfer the mixture to a serving platter and top with the warm fried halloumi and toasted almonds.

ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS AND KALE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Slice the Brussels sprouts very thin. Toss with 2 tablespoons of the oil and some salt and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast, shaking the baking sheet a couple of times while cooking, until the sprouts are browned in spots and tender, about 30 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, stir in the grated Parmesan and set aside.
• Toss the kale with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and place on a baking sheet. Roast until the leaves are tender, crisp on the edges and lightly browned, about 10 minutes, then stir with the Brussels sprouts. Garnish with the lemon zest, big shavings of Parmesan and toasted pecans before serving.

• In a large bowl, whisk together the pecorino, olive oil, pine nuts, mustard, lemon zest and juice and salt and pepper to taste. Add in the shredded vegetables and toss well to combine. Let the salad sit for 10 minutes before serving to allow the dressing to permeate the greens.

• Roughly chop the kale into bite-sized pieces and add it back into the bowl. Add the Brussels Sprouts, cheese, and pecans to the kale. Pour the dressing over the salad, toss, and serve.
