Sweet And Sour Kale Recipes

SWEET-AND-SAVORY KALE SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• For the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the pomegranate molasses, vinegar and mustard. Pouring in a steady stream, whisk in the olive oil. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt. (The dressing can be made up to 3 days in advance.)
• For the salad: Scatter the sweet potatoes and pearl onions on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with the olive oil and season with 1 teaspoon salt. Roast until the potatoes are tender throughout and beginning to brown, about 35 minutes, tossing halfway through. Transfer to a large bowl to cool slightly.
• Add the apples, baby kale and the dressing to the bowl, and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Using two wooden spoons, toss gently to combine and coat evenly in the dressing.
• Sprinkle the salad with the pomegranate seeds before serving.

Steps:

• Cook the bacon in a large Dutch oven over medium heat until browned and crisp, about 8 minutes, stirring often. Transfer bacon pieces into a bowl with a slotted spoon, leaving the drippings in the pan.
• Stir water, vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper into the bacon drippings until the sugar has dissolved; bring the mixture to a boil. Place collards into the boiling mixture, and stir to mix well. Cover the Dutch oven, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until the greens are tender, 30 to 45 minutes. Drizzle in a little more water or vinegar if greens become too dry.
• Spoon greens into a serving dish, and sprinkle with the cooked bacon pieces.

SWEET-AND-SOUR KALE WITH GOLDEN RAISINS AND PINE NUTS

Steps:

• 1. Set the oven at 350 degrees.
• 2. On a baking sheet, spread the pine nuts. Bake for 7 to 8 minutes, or until fragrant and golden.
• 3. In a large flameproof casserole over medium heat, heat the oil and garlic until the garlic starts to sizzle and turn pale golden. Add the raisins and cider and stir for 30 seconds, or until the raisins soften slightly.
• 4. Add as many handfuls of kale as will fit in the pan. Cook, turning often with tongs, until the kale begins to wilt. As the volume decreases, add more kale to the pan until all the kale has been added. Cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes, or until the kale is tender. If the pan seems dry, add water, 1 tablespoon at a time. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• 5. Stir in the lemon juice, vinegar, and pine nuts. Taste for seasoning and add, more lemon juice or vinegar, if you like. Sprinkle with the lemon rind.
