Kale & collard greens recipes

Skillet Eggs with Kale & Chorizo
from From Asparagus to Zucchini

  • ¼ pound Spanish-style chorizo (or other spicy, hard sausage like Italian salami or garlic summer sausage), diced
  • 1 bunch kale or collards, stems removed, leaves chopped coarsely
  • lemon juice
  • pepper
  • 4-6 eggs
  • grated Parmesan or asiago cheese (optional)
  • Heat large, nonstick skillet over medium-high flame. Add diced chorizo and cook, stirring often, about 3 minutes. Add all the kale (or collards) and cook, tossing often, until wilted, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle a little lemon juice and pepper over the mixture and toss well, then push kale/chorizo mixture to outer edges of pan. Reduce heat to medium and crack eggs one at a time into center of pan. Cook briefly uncovered, then sprinkle 3 tablespoons water over kale and eggs, cover, and cook until eggs are set, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle a little grated Parmesan or asiago cheese over the dish and serve immediately, right from the pan. Makes 4-6 servings.

    Greens & Potato Soup
    from Simply in Season

  • 1 large bunch kale or collard greens, chopped
  • Steam and set aside. (Don’t try to cook it with the potatoes; the flavor will be too strong.)

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Melt butter in soup pot. Add onion and sauté until golden. Add garlic and sauté another minute.

  • 1 to 2 pounds potatoes, diced (we’ve given out 2 lbs)
  • 2 cups hot water or broth
  • Add, bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are soft. Remove half of the cooked potatoes; puree the rest with the cooking liquid and return to the soup pot. Return reserved potatoes and steamed greens to soup pot. (Puree everything if a smooth texture is desired.)

  • 3 cups water or broth
  • ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
  • pepper to taste
  • Add along with additional hot water or milk to preferred consistency. Heat gently until hot and serve.
