Sauteed Kale with a Boiled Egg
I made this for dinner tonight, and was pleasantly taken aback by the strong and "big" flavour. This is one side dish that can definitely hold its own as an entree.
- 1 cu water
- balsamic and red wine vinegars
- 6 kale leaves, chopped, midvein removed
- olive oil
- 1/4 large yellow onion, diced
- 1 large green onion, sliced very thin
- crushed red pepper
- fresh-ground black pepper
- salt
- In a small saucepan, combine several tablespoons of each balsamic and red wine vinegars with water, salt to taste, and bring to a boil.
- Blanch kale in boiling vinegar for no longer than thirty seconds, stirring constantly.
- In a large frying pan, sautee kale, and onions in olive oil. Season to red and black pepper and salt prior to sauteeing.
- Bring vinegar to a light boil again, and crack an egg into it.
- When yolk is still liquid, but all the white has been cooked, remove egg.
- Serve kale in a wide, shallow bowl, topped with the egg, yolk cracked.
