Kale recipes
Here are some of my favorite ways to enjoy kale, the most flavorful and deliciously textured of all the greens. . . The classics are Whole Wheat Pasta with Kale & Pine Nuts, and Portuguese Kale & Potato Soup. Then there's Hungarian Kale with grated nutmeg, and Kale, Walnut and Soy Salad. . . Well, for starters, here's Kale Whole Wheat Pasta: Whole-Wheat Pasta with Kale Feeds 3 hungry people, or 6 as a side dish 2 bunches fresh kale, stripped from stems and chopped into thumb-size pieces 1 lb. whole wheat spaghetti or linguini 1/2 cup pignoli (pine nuts) 1/4 cup very good extra-virgin olive oil 6-8 big cloves garlic (to taste) 1/4 cup grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese Fresh ground pepper In a big pot with room for a steamer on top, bring a gallon of water to boil. Place chopped kale in steamer basket and set aside. Meanwhile, slice the garlic thinly and saute with the olive oil in a medium saucepan until soft and translucent. Add the pine nuts and saute some more, until the nuts are very lightly tanned. Turn off heat and set aside. Cook whole wheat pasta in boiling water for 10 minutes, or however long it takes to get to "al dente." At the last minute, plop the steamer basket full of kale on top of boiling pasta, and give kale a few seconds to steam. Remove kale; add to saucepan and mix in with sauteed garlic and nuts. Drain pasta. Toss together with parmesan cheese and serve immediately. The cheese is optional, if you're vegan.
