Kale And Corn Succotash Recipes

AUTUMN SUCCOTASH

Steps:

• Combine the squash, kale, 1 tablespoon butter, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and 1/2 cup water in a large nonstick skillet; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cover and simmer until the squash is tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Uncover and cook until the water is evaporated and the squash is beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
• Heat 3 tablespoons butter in the same skillet over high heat. Add the mushrooms and hominy and cook, stirring once, until browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium high, season with salt and pepper and cook, tossing frequently, until the mushrooms are tender, about 2 minutes. Transfer to the bowl with the squash mixture.
• Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons butter in the skillet over medium-high heat. Add the red onion, bell pepper, chile pepper, garlic, thyme and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Cook, tossing, until the vegetables are tender and beginning to brown, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the corn and season with salt and pepper; cook, tossing, until the corn is tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the squash mixture to the skillet and toss. Transfer to a serving dish.

CORN AND KALE SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add corn to boiling water and turn off heat. Let corn soak in hot water for 5 minutes. Remove the corn, reserving the cooking water in the pot. Set corn aside to cool before slicing kernels from the cobs into a mixing bowl.
• Return the pot of water to a boil; add kale and 1 teaspoon salt. Boil kale until bright green and tender, about 5 minutes; drain and set kale aside to cool. Once cool enough to handle, squeeze as much liquid from the kale as you can. Separate leaves and add to bowl with corn kernels.
• Stir red bell pepper, pineapple juice, olive oil, salsa, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder into the corn and kale.

PASTA WITH CORN AND KALE

Steps:

• Cut the corn kernels off the cobs and transfer to a bowl, then scrape the cobs with the back of a knife over the bowl to extract the liquid; set aside. Put the corncobs in a large pot and fill with water; season with salt. Cover and bring to a boil, then add the pasta and cook as the label directs; reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain. Discard the cobs.
• Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over high heat. Add half of the mushrooms in a single layer and cook, undisturbed, until golden, 4 to 5 minutes. Season with salt, stir and continue cooking until tender, about 5 more minutes; transfer to a large bowl. Add another 2 tablespoons olive oil to the pot and repeat with the remaining mushrooms. Transfer to the bowl.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, the garlic and pepper flakes to the pot; cook, stirring, until the garlic is soft, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the kale and season with salt. Cover and cook until wilted, about 3 minutes. Add the corn kernels, mushrooms, scallions and butter. Cook, stirring, until the butter is melted and the mixture is heated through, about 2 minutes. Add the pasta and 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta cooking water; cook, stirring, until heated through, 1 to 2 more minutes, adding more cooking water as needed to loosen the sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
