Kale with New Potatoes & Garlic
1/2 to 3/4 pounds kale, stems removed
1 pound new potatoes, scrubbed
1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 small onion, minced
1 to 2 large cloves garlic, crushed 1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, to taste
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
Rinse greens several times to remove any sand or grit. Steam or microwave potatoes in skins until tender. When cool enough to handle, cut in half.
Meanwhile, in a pot or stir-fry pan, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, for 2 to 3 minutes. Add greens and 1/4 cup water (or more, if needed). Cover and steam until just tender, about 10 to 25 minutes. Drain and transfer to colander. Remove and discard garlic doves. When cool enough to handle, squeeze out liquid, then transfer to a cutting board and chop leaves coarsely.
In serving bowl, combine chopped greens, potatoes and lemon juice; toss to mix. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.
Serves 3.
