Rice With Andouille And Kale Recipes

GARLIC BUTTER RICE WITH KALE

Steps:

• Place kale in a large bowl. Drizzle over oil, sprinkle with a small pinch of salt and pepper. Scrunch with hands for 30 seconds, set aside while rice cooks.
• Melt butter in a large pot over medium high heat. Add garlic and stir for 1 minute until just starting to turn golden and is incredibly fragrant.
• Add rice, stir for 10 seconds.
• Add broth, stir, then cover.
• Turn heat down to medium or medium low so the liquid is simmering very gently. Cook for 12 - 15 minutes until all liquid is absorbed (tilt pot to check).
• Quickly toss all the kale on top of the rice, put the lid back on then remove from heat.
• Rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Fluff rice with fork, stirring kale through.
• Lastly, stir through extra butter and add salt and pepper to taste.
• Serve and sprinkle over nuts (or stir nuts through rice).

RICE WITH ANDOUILLE AND KALE

Steps:

• Soak rice in hot water for 10 minutes. Drain. Rinse with cold water and drain well. Place tomatoes, onion, garlic and rosemary in a blender. Puree until smooth. Set aside.
• Heat oil in a medium-large, heavy-bottom pot over medium-high heat. Add rice. Cook, stirring frequently, until rice turns a light golden color, about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomato puree. Cook for 8 minutes, frequently scraping the bottom of the pan to prevent sticking.
• Stir in broth, salt, sausage and kale. Cook, uncovered, until all the broth has been absorbed and air holes appear on the surface of the rice, about 20 minutes. Turn heat to very low. Cover the pot with a towel. Continue cooking for 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Let stand, covered, for 15 minutes. Adjust seasoning if needed and serve hot. Continue as in main recipe, adding the sausage and the kale with the chicken broth and salt. Continue as in main recipe. Serve hot.

SAUTEED RICE WITH KALE

Steps:

• Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring the water to a boil. Add the kale, cover, and steam until just tender, 7 to 10 minutes.
• Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion, celery, mushrooms, green bell pepper, and garlic in the oil and butter mixture until the onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Stir kale and rice into the mixture, breaking the rice into grains with your spoon as you stir; season with dry mustard, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Cook and stir until the rice is hot, about 5 minutes.
