FROM HEY BAYLES! FARM
Farms with farmstands and CSAs often
have a plethora of recipes using the
ingredients they grow. Shannon Poynter of
Hey Bayles! farm shared this recipe, which
she got from her grandmother, who is
now 88 years old. “One of the biggest gifts
my husband gives me each year is a
greenhouse full of kale and collards,” says
Poynter. “I love knowing I can feed my
family all winter on these fabulous
greens.” Poynter prefers lacinato, or
Tuscan kale, and also suggests using a
pizza cutter to make short work of
removing the leaves from the stems. This
vibrantly colored salad is “flexible, healthy
and very popular,” she says. If you don’t
have kale, try it with other greens, and
vary the marinating time depending on
their tenderness. You can vary the type of
nuts (try walnuts, pecans or hazelnuts)
and also the dried fruit (currants, raisins,
dates).
2 bunches kale
1/2 cup toasted pine nuts
1/2 cup dried cranberries (unsweetened)
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup good olive oil
1 tsp. honey
kosher salt and pepper as desired
1/4 cup grated parmesan (optional)
salt and pepper to taste.
Remove the stems from the kale (a pizza
cutter works great for this). Chop kale
finely, chiffonade style (thin ribbons). Mix
the lemon juice, oil and honey in a bowl
(heating the honey a bit eases
incorporation). Toss with the kale and the
cranberries. Let sit for at least 30
minutes, though all day is fine as well —
this marinates the kale, breaking it down
slightly.
When ready to serve, toast the pine nuts
and toss them into the kale with the
cheese, if desired, and season to taste.
