  • If you leave out the bread, this recipe is vegan, mediterranean, and paleo! It's also delicious!
    Heat up olive oil, garlic and chili flakes in a big pan. Throw in the leafy greens and coat them all with the oil. Add a little water and bring it to a rapid simmer. Cover the pan. In a few minutes take off the lid and let the water evaporate. Saute the wilted greens in the garlic-infused oil until they're tender.
    All of the healthy vegetable goodness stays in the pan and the perfectly cooked tender greens flecked with garlic and chili flake glisten in the sheen of the olive oil.
    Choose your favorite leafy vegetable, chard, brocolli rabe, escarole. But don't be limited to greens. The steam/saute method works with most vegetables.
    I cooked a vegetable with many names. Black kale because of its color. Dino(saur) kale because of the large leaf's rough surface. Tuscan kale from the region in Italy where it is a favored ingredient for ribollita, the famous Tuscan twice boiled soup.
    Call it what you want. Just make some soon.
    The intense slightly bitter kale flavor is mellowed by the buttery olive oil. The heat of the chili flake warms your throat with each swallow.
    Eat a bowl of kale as a light lunch or serve it as a side for your main course. Have a hunk of crusty bread handy to sop up the sauce that's left on the plate.
    Italians eat fantastic food but the Mediterranean Diet, most prominent in southern Italy, is healthy as well. I eat lots of vegetables and fruits locally grown and in season, legumes, nuts and grains. I love fish. Extra virgin olive oil is my fat of choice. I eat meat in moderation and sweets from time to time.
    My meals are delicious and nutritious. Yours can be too.

    Hi I have this in my veggie garden here in the Netherlands, and we call it Palm kale, because it looks like a kokonut/palm tree and when you harvest the laeves from down coming up it looks just like a palm. I make a very simple but tasty vegan green soup with onions, garlic patatoes, carrots, chicken stock from tablets, and some seasoning cumin, black pepper and some more. Then smooth it out with a staff mixer. You won't get it slippery smooth but just right with some texture. Delicious!

    I cooked it tonight and it was fantastic. The kale absorbed all the fruity olive oil that bursts out the flavor as you chew. Thank you for the recipe.

      Gutsy move. I'm pleased you found my recipe. I love kale especially Lacinato a/k/a Dino kale by itself or with white Tuscan cannellini beans. Keep on cooking.

    Wow, Gianni, this tops them all. Not as the best tasting thing you've posted, but because I NEVER thought I could enjoy eating kale. I think I under did it, but it is still tasty.
    I've made about 12-15 of your dishes, they all come out great.

      Ciao Jimmy. I'm happy my recipes have worked well for you and that you tried kale, one of my favorite greens. It's good for you eat more.
      Kale does need a little more cooking time if you want it tender. Keep on cooking.
      Buon appetito1

    I cook that with sliced potatoes with garlic and oil first but i add the spinach later because it cooks quicker

    • @GianniNorthBeachTV
      @GianniNorthBeachTV  10 років тому +2

      Yes, if I'm using spinach put it in last. The kale takes longer to cook though.

    Tuscan black kale or lacinto kale is also called cavolo nero.

    I'd never waste the stalks.
    Look them first and when tender, after say 10 min, then add the leaves
    More chili and garlic and some salt for me. 😁

      Ciao Sebastian.
      You're right I did use "a little bit" a little bit too much. I counted 10 times. How many did you hear? BTW, the little bit of extra virgin olive oil in the pan is about 1 tablespoon.
