Sautéed Kale with Lime Pickle Ditte Isager

This is not your usual garlic-and- oil sauté: Lime pickle brings a spicy and pungent kick.

Ingredients

Makes 4 servings

3 tablespoons ghee (clarified butter) or unsalted butter
1 large shallot, thinly sliced into rings
2 bunches curly or Tuscan kale, ribs and stems removed, leaves torn into 2" pieces
2 tablespoons prepared lime pickle, chopped
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
  1. Heat ghee in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallot and cook, stirring often, until beginning to brown, about 4 minutes. Working in batches, add kale, tossing and letting it cook down slightly before adding another handful or two, and adding a splash of water if pan looks dry. Add lime pickle and cook, tossing often, until kale is wilted and tender, 5–8 minutes; season with salt and pepper.

Also Try it With:

Large-leafed bunch spinach or Swiss chard

  • This was absolutely delicious! We loved it? However, if you aren't a fan of lime pickle ( we used Pataks), this recipe probably isn't for you. The only change I made was to use oil instead of ghee.
