Kale Stuffing Recipes

SOURDOUGH STUFFING WITH KALE AND DATES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Cut the crust off the bread and tear remaining loaf into 1-inch croutons. Place torn bread on a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with 4 tablespoons olive oil, squeezing and tossing bread with your hands to help it absorb the oil. Transfer to oven and toast, tossing once or twice, until croutons are golden brown and crispy on the outside but still a little soft and tender inside, 12 to 15 minutes. When croutons have cooled, place them in a large bowl.
• Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and crumble sausage into pan. Sauté, breaking up sausage with a wooden spoon, until browned and just cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer sausage to the bowl with the croutons using a slotted spoon.
• Return the pot to medium heat and add 2 more tablespoons olive oil, the onions, the rosemary sprig, the thyme and the chile. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Continue cooking another 3 to 4 minutes, stirring often, until onion is soft and starting to color slightly.
• Add half the kale and the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to the pan. Use tongs to turn the greens to coat them in oil and help them wilt and cook down. When there is room in the pan (from the greens wilting), add the rest of the kale and season with another 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. As soon as all the kale has wilted, transfer mixture to the bowl with the croutons and sausage. Remove rosemary. Add dates and stir well to combine.
• Return pot to stove over high heat and carefully pour in sherry. Boil until sherry is reduced by three-quarters, then add stock. Boil until mixture is reduced by half, then swirl in butter until melted.
• Pour hot liquid over crouton-kale mixture. Add almonds and toss well to combine; using tongs or your hands, squeeze and massage the stuffing to integrate the flavors and make sure bread has really soaked in all the liquid.
• Transfer stuffing to a ceramic baking dish or casserole. Cover and bake 15 minutes in the 400-degree oven. Uncover and bake 10 to 15 more minutes, or until top is golden and crisp.

SAUSAGE AND KALE STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and butter a 3-quart baking dish. Melt 6 tablespoons butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until lightly browned and cooked through, about 7 minutes.
• Add the celery, onions, thyme, rosemary, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.

• Whisk the eggs and parsley in a large bowl. Add the bread cubes and the sausage mixture; stir to combine. Fold in the provolone. Transfer the stuffing to the prepared baking dish. Cut the remaining 2 tablespoons butter into cubes and dot over the stuffing. Cover with foil and bake 30 minutes, then uncover and bake until golden brown, about 20 more minutes.

SAUSAGE AND KALE THANKSGIVING DRESSING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 3-quart casserole dish.
• Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a large Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until golden brown, about 6 minutes. Add the leeks and squash and season with 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper; cook until the leeks are soft, about 3 minutes. Add the kale, toss and cover until the kale wilts, about 4 minutes. Add the focaccia cubes and the remaining 3 tablespoons butter and toss until the butter melts.
• Whisk the egg and chicken broth in a bowl until smooth; stir in the diced parmesan and 1 teaspoon salt. Pour the broth mixture over the bread mixture; cook until the liquid is absorbed by the bread, about 1 minute.
• Transfer the bread mixture to the prepared casserole dish. Scatter the shredded cheese evenly on top and bake until golden and cooked through, about 40 minutes. Set aside for 5 minutes before serving.

TUSCAN SAUSAGE, KALE & CIABATTA STUFFING

Steps:

• Soak all but one handful of the bread chunks in the milk and set aside. Heat the oil in a large non-stick pan and cook the onions with the fennel and chilli flakes (if using) for 10 mins until softened. Add the garlic and the cavelo nero or kale and cook for 5 mins until softened, adding more oil if needed. Leave to cool.
• Tip the onion mixture and the remaining ingredients (aside from the handful of bread) into a large bowl, season generously and use your hands to scrunch everything together really well. Scatter the stuffing into a shallow roasting tin or baking dish. Can be kept in the fridge for up to two days before baking. Top the stuffing with the remaining torn bread. To cook, heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7 and bake for 30-35 mins until the top is crispy.

KALE-STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Cut each whole chicken breast into two halves, following the line that separates the two sides. Trim the breasts of fat and cartilage. Using a sharp knife, make a deep pocket in each half of the chicken breast by slicing it horizontally from the thick end to the thin end on the underside of the breast. Do not cut all the way through to the other side.
• Divide the stuffing into 6 equal portions, about 1/3 cup each. Fill each pocket with the stuffing. Press the edges of the chicken together, securing the filling inside the chicken. Do not flatten the breast. Refrigerate the stuffed breasts until you are ready to bread and bake them.
• Position a rack at the top of the oven and preheat the oven to 450˚F.
• Combine the bread crumbs, cheese, parsley, and 1/2 teaspoon each of the salt and pepper in a food processor or by hand; be sure the bread crumbs are finely ground. With the processor running, drizzle in the olive oil and hot sauce. Process until the bread crumbs are coated in the oil, about 15 seconds.
• In three separate bowls, place the bread crumb mixture, flour, and egg. Add the milk to the egg and whisk to combine. Add the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to the flour and mix well.
• Place a rimmed baking sheet in the oven for 5 minutes.
• Dredge one stuffed chicken breast in the flour and shake off any excess. Coat the chicken in the egg and then the bread crumbs, pressing the bread crumbs lightly to coat the breast evenly. Repeat the process with each piece. Remove the pan from the oven and place the chicken pieces on the hot pan.
• Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the bread crumb coating is golden brown and a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the chicken reads 165˚F. (Be sure to test the temperature of the chicken meat and not the stuffing.) If you have a convection oven, turn it on for this recipe, as it turns the chicken breasts a beautiful brown color, but reduce the cooking time to 20 minutes.
• Serve the chicken breasts immediately, cut into thick slices, or let them cool and serve at room temperature.
• Kale and Tapenade Stuffing
• In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the shallots and sauté for 1 minute. Add the kale, salt, and pepper and sauté for 2 minutes, or until the kale is softened. Remove the kale from the heat, add the cheeses and tapenade, and gently combine. Refrigerate the stuffing for at least 1 hour and up to 3 days.
• Make Ahead
• The cooked chicken breasts may be refrigerated for up to 3 days. Allow them to return to room temperature before serving or reheating them, covered, for 15 minutes in a 400˚F. oven. Uncover and continue baking for an additional 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
