Sweet Sour Kale With Garlic Anchovy Recipes

SWEET-AND-SOUR KALE

Steps:

• Cook 1 pound chopped kale in salted boiling water until tender, 3 minutes. Drain. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 sliced red onion, 3 smashed garlic cloves and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt to the pot. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until lightly browned, 10 minutes. Stir in 1/4 cup red wine vinegar and 1 tablespoon sugar. Add the kale and cook, tossing, 1 minute. Season to taste.

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.

KALE WITH GARLIC, ANCHOVIES AND ALE

Steps:

• Heat extra-virgin olive oil in a small skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add the anchovies and let them melt into the oil. Add the chile and garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the kale and let it wilt, turning it in the chile and garlic with tongs. Douse the pan with the ale and toss for 1 to 2 minutes more, than add nutmeg, and salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer the kale to a serving bowl and serve.

SWEET AND SAVORY KALE

Steps:

• In a large stock pot, heat the olive oil on medium high heat.
• Add onion and garlic, and saute until the onion softens, stirring often, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in mustard, sugar, cider vinegar and vegetable stock. Bring to a boil on hight heat. Add kale, cover, and cook 5 minutes, stirring often.
• Add the cranberries, if using, and continue cooking on medium high heat, stirring often(even if you don't use the cranberries, still cook a little longer).
• The liquid should reduce by half and the cranberries will get plump in about 10 minutes.
• Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with almonds if desired.
• Enjoy!

PASTA WITH ANCHOVIES, GARLIC, CHILES AND KALE

Steps:

• Bring a heavily salted pot of water to a boil. Cook pasta until al dente. Drain.
• Meanwhile, heat oil in the largest skillet you have. Add chiles and a pinch of salt and toast until golden, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Add smashed garlic, capers and anchovies. Let cook until everything is golden, the capers look crisp around the edges and the anchovies have dissolved into the oil, about 3 to 4 minutes. (You can help anchovies dissolve by mashing them with a wooden spoon as they cook.) Add kale and 2 tablespoons water and sauté until kale wilts and cooks in the pan and is well coated with oil, about 5 minutes. You might have to add more water if the water evaporates before the kale finishes cooking.
• Add drained pasta and toss well. Add more salt if necessary and plenty of black pepper, and serve drizzled with more oil and a squeeze of lemon if the dish needs a lift. Cheese isn't necessary but if you like pecorino and have some on hand, feel free to shower it on top.

• Stir in the dried cranberries, and continue boiling, uncovered, until the liquid has reduced by about half, and the cranberries have softened, about 15 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with sliced almonds before serving.
