Best Creamed Kale With Panko Topping Recipes

KALE CAESAR WITH GARLICKY PANKO CRUNCH

Steps:

• For the topping: Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the panko and cook, stirring constantly, until light golden brown, about 3 minutes. Push the panko to one side and add the remaining tablespoon oil to the skillet. Add the garlic directly to the oil and cook, stirring it into the oil, about 30 seconds. Mix the garlic into the panko and continue to cook until the panko is golden brown, about 1 minute more. Transfer to a bowl and cool, then stir in the Parmesan.
• For the Caesar dressing and salad: In a small jar with a lid, combine the lemon juice, mayonnaise, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, anchovies, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a generous amount of black pepper. Add in the oil and shake until emulsified.
• Put the kale in a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the kale and toss to coat. Let stand 5 minutes. Sprinkle the toasted panko mixture over the kale.

CREAMED LACINATO KALE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Repeat with the remaining oil and kale, adding it to the bowl as done.
• Return the braiser to high heat and add the cream. Simmer the cream until it reduces to about 1 3/4 cups, about 5 minutes. Add the cream to the greens and stir to combine. Add the Parmesan, Gruyere, Worcestershire, chile flakes, nutmeg, lemon zest and juice and salt to taste. Return the greens to the braiser and top with the panko and a drizzle of oil. Bake until warmed, 12 to 15 minutes.
