Easy Skillet Kale with Lemon & Garlic
www.the kitchn.com
2 large bunches kale, any variety (about 1 1/2 pounds total)
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
Pinch red pepper flakes (optional)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Juice of 1 small lemon
Use your hands to pull the kale leaves from their stems. Coarsely chop the leaves. Rinse them, but do not dry.
Heat the oil in large, wide, high-sided sauté pan over medium heat until shimmering. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes, if using, and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute (do not let the garlic brown).
Add the kale a few handfuls at a time, stirring after each addition so that it starts to wilt, until all of the kale is added. Stir in the salt and pepper. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the kale is just tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the lemon juice, and serve.
Pickled English Peas
www.seriouseats.com
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/2 cups shelled fresh peas
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/4 cup sherry vinegar
1 medium clove garlic, roughly chopped (about 1 teaspoon)
1 tablespoon torn fresh mint leaves
Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add peas and cook, stirring and tossing frequently until lightly softened and raw taste is gone, 2 to 3 minutes. Add salt and sugar and toss to coat.
Remove pan from heat and add vinegar. It should steam and sputter (don’t breathe in the fumes). Add mint and garlic and toss to incorporate.
Funnel peas and liquid into a heatproof container. Allow to cool on countertop for 30 minutes. Cover container and transfer to refrigerator. Allow to rest for at least 12 hours. Peas will keep for up to one week in refrigerator.
Roasted Kohlrabi
www.allrecipes.com
4 eaches kohlrabi bulbs, peeled
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1 pinch salt and pepper to taste
⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
Cut the kohlrabi into 1/4 inch thick slices, then cut each of the slices in half. Combine olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Toss kohlrabi slices in the olive oil mixture to coat. Spread kohlrabi in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven until browned, 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally in order to brown evenly. Remove from oven and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Return to the oven to allow the Parmesan cheese to brown, about 5 minutes. Serve immediately.
Country Turnip Greens
www.foodnetwork.com
8 ounces country ham, cubed
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
1 pound stemmed turnip greens
Freshly cracked black pepper
4 cups low-sodium chicken stock (one 32-ounce carton)
Put the ham in a large stockpot over medium heat. Cook until the ham is crispy and the fat is rendered, about 8 minutes. Pour in the apple cider vinegar and scrape the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon to lift up any brown bits.
Meanwhile, rip the greens into large pieces to make it easier to fit all of them into the stockpot.
Add the greens to the pot and season generously with black pepper. Pour in the chicken stock and stir to combine. Bring the greens to a simmer and cover the pot. Reduce the heat to medium low and cook until the greens are tender and the liquid is reduced by half, about 45 minutes. Remove the lid and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is nearly gone, about 10 minutes more. Serve immediately.

Preheat oven to 450°F. Toss together chicken thighs, radishes, olive oil, and spice blend on a large rimmed baking sheet until evenly coated. Spread in a single layer.

Divide arugula evenly among 6 plates, and top with chicken, radishes, and pan juices. Sprinkle with salt to taste.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil with 1 teaspoon salt. Cook greens until tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water until chilled.
Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion and red pepper flakes until onion is tender, about 5 minutes.
