Braised Kale With Garlic And Red Wine Recipes

BRAISED KALE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the onions, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add the garlic, kale, and stock and cook, stirring occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes; add a splash of cider vinegar in the last minute of cooking. Remove from the heat. Serve immediately.
• In a large stock pot, over high heat, add the oil. When the oil is hot, add the onions, carrots, and celery. Saute for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 2 hours. Remove the stock from the heat and skim off any scum that is on the surface. Strain the stock through a large fine-mesh sieve. Discard the bones and vegetables.

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.
