Cooking kale for only a flash over excessive warmth with out being shy with garlic is my go-to technique for cooking kale, or most greens actually. You need it easy and quick, so the kale retains a touch of construction and loads of colour and vibrancy. It really works for kale, chard, or spinach – your alternative!

What Can You Serve with These Greens?

I exploit greens quick-cooked like this in dozens of the way. Stir a number of crushed eggs right into a skillet of sautéed kale, and also you’re in your solution to a scrumptious omelette or frittata. I generally chop the leaves a bit finer (pre or publish sauté), and add them to all types of soups and curries. You get colour, taste, and a nutritious increase. Puree the sautéed greens and you’ll whisk or mix them into yogurt, hummus, mashed potatoes, and dips.

A couple of extra concepts and inspiration.

Variations:

There are lots of methods to riff on this common thought. Listed here are a number of stand-out concepts from the feedback through the years.

• Waheda says, “ I usually make one thing comparable however solely with tomatoes, onion, and minced garlic, sauté these issues first then add the spinach some salt and sizzling pepper (a touch), it goes properly with basmati rice. I by no means had it with cheese or pine nuts and even cranberries. However I’m gonna strive it.
• Franks likes a little bit of edge, “I prefer to sauté the garlic first in further virgin, earlier than including the greens. The garlic browns up and caramelizes a bit to provide the greens that roasted garlic style.”
• Kavita goals for kid-friendly, “I make them fairly comparable, ‘cept I slice the leaves very nice ….and roast them until crispy…. toast some sesame seeds and in addition add a pinch of sugar …. is a good way to coax fussy youngsters to begin on greens …. goes properly as a facet dish with soup.”
• Royce recommended, “Attempt with fetta, provides it a Greek twist.” I’ll add that a number of torn up olives can be good right here in case you go this route.
