Jules's Favorite Proscuitto & Stone Fruit Kale SaladFrom Food52, this recipe is a total summer salad, grilled fruit add sweetness, kale adds a crunch plus prosciutto and feta add a little salty protein that makes this the perfect Sunday dinner!
INGREDIENTS: · 1 bunch kale, destemmed · 4 apricots, halved · 4 peaches halved · 1/4 LB prosciutto · 1/4 cup feta cheese · 1/4 cup olive oil · 1-2 tbsp. lemon juice DIRECTIONS: 1. Preheat the grill. While it warms up, tear or chop the kale leaves into bite-size pieces and place those in a large salad bowl. Add a pinch of salt and a tablespoon of olive oil and massage the kale, kneading it for a minute or so until it softens. Whisk together the remaining olive oil and the lemon juice, adjusting to your taste. Set the dressing aside. Tear or cut the prosciutto into smaller pieces and set those aside too. 2. When the grill is reasonably but not overwhelming hot, brush the apricots and peaches very lightly with a neutral oil and grill, cut side down, until deeply caramelized. When the fruit is grilled, toss the kale with the prepared dressing and then crumble the feta on top. Add the prosciutto and then the still-hot peaches and apricots, letting their juices seep down into the kale. (If there are any extra juices on the plate you put them on after grilling, add those too.) Eat with crusty bread. https://food52.com/blog/11061-a-kale-salad-with-grilled-stone-fruit-prosciutto-and-feta Ingredients:
For the cupcakes · 100g (2 cups, packed) raw kale leaves, woody stalks discarded · 150g ( ½ cup) unsalted butter, softened · 150g (3/4 cup) granulated sugar · 2 eggs · 2 teaspoons vanilla extract · 1 orange, zest and juice · 200g (1 ½ cups) plain flour · 1 teaspoon baking powder · ½ teaspoon salt For the icing · 75g ( ⅓ cup) unsalted butter, softened · 250g (2 cups) powdered icing sugar · 2-3 tablespoons orange juice Directions: 1. Preheat oven to 170C/325F. Line or grease a muffin tray. 2. Tear kale leaves into bite-sized pieces and boil or steam for a few minutes until tender. Refresh in cold water, drain and puree (it will still be a bit stringy). Set aside. 3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, and then beat in the kale, vanilla, orange juice and zest. 4. Sift in the flour, baking powder and salt and stir to gently combine. 5. Fill the muffin cups ¾ full with the batter and bake for 20 minutes or until an inserted skewer comes out clean. Allow to cool in the tins for 10 minutes then remove and allow to cool completely on a wire rack. Frost with the buttercream when cold. 6. Icing: In a large bowl, cream the butter until fluffy. Sift in the icing sugar and beat until thick. Add enough orange juice to make it a frosting consistency. Store in the fridge until ready to use. http://veggiedesserts.co.uk/kale-and-apple-cake-with-apple-icing/

Come one, come all! KALEFEST begins today!This week we are celebrating all things KALE! This green leafy brassica has been called "farmer's cabbage" and is regarded as a wild ancestor of today's domesticated cabbage. Kale has become the "green standard" of trendy vegetables. Its hype is totally worthy as a versatile salad green, baked chip, pulverized pesto, and beyond! Not to mention its nutritional density having high concentrations of vitamins A, C and E. Enjoy this superfood all week!
