Description

The slight bitterness of the greens cuts through the richness of the meat and potatoes in this menu. Feel free to use any variety of kale (or a mix of varieties) in this dish. Green, red, or Tuscan kale (sometimes called lacinato or dinosaur kale) would all be delicious. 3 pounds kale (about 4 large bunches), thick bottom stems and center stems cut away and discarded

Ingredients

1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup finely chopped shallots (about 2 large)
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons drained capers, chopped
Coarse kosher salt

Directions

  1. Bring extra-large pot of salted water to boil. Add kale and cook until almost tender, about 8 minutes. Drain. Rinse kale under cold running water. Drain again. Coarsely chop kale. DO AHEAD: Can be made 6 hours ahead. Cover and chill.
  2. Heat oil in large pot (preferably nonstick) over medium heat. Add shallots and sauté until tender but not brown, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and capers; stir 1 minute. Stir in kale and sauté until tender and heated through, about 7 minutes. Season to taste with coarse salt and pepper. Transfer kale to large bowl and serve.
