Roasted Kale Golden Raisins And Garlic Recipes

KALE WITH GOLDEN RAISINS AND PINE NUTS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet set over medium heat. Add the raisins, pine nuts, red pepper flakes and garlic. Cook, swirling the skillet occasionally, until the pine nuts are toasted, about 2 minutes. Remove the ingredients from the oil with a slotted spoon and set aside.
• Add the kale stems to the skillet and cook, stirring, until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the kale leaves in batches, stirring to wilt each batch. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 cup water, cover and cook, stirring once, until tender, 7 to 10 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and add the lemon juice and the reserved pine nut mixture. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt.

CRISPY ROASTED KALE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Arrange 3 oven racks evenly spaced in the oven.
• Lay each kale leaf on a board and, with a small sharp knife, cut out the hard stem. Tear large leaves in half. Place the kale in a large bowl of water and wash it well. Drain the kale and dry it in a salad spinner. Dry the bowl, and put the kale back in the bowl.
• Toss the kale with the olive oil, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Divide the kale among 3 sheet pans or roast them in batches. If you put too much kale on one pan, it will steam rather than roast and will never become crisp. Roast for 15 minutes, until crisp. Sprinkle with fleur de sel and serve hot.

EASY GARLIC KALE

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir garlic until sizzling, about 1 minute. Add kale to the skillet and place a cover over the top.
• Cook, stirring occasionally with tongs, until kale is bright green and slightly tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
