who could ever get tired of talkin' risotto? (nytimes*)
*im gonna mark these as such when i remember so if you dont want to waste your free access to the times....Kale, parmesan, pine nuts, currants, olive oil, lemon, salt.
The key is cutting the kale very fine. I do some de-stemming first, and then roll the leaves into kale cigars. This makes it easier to chop. Then I put them in a bowl with some lemon juice and let it sit for a while. Not sure if that really works or not but the idea is that it softens up the raw kale a little more. Toast the pine nuts. Microplane parmesan. I just wing the proportions, but it's pretty easy if you just keep tasting. I use currants because they are small, but if I can't find them I just use regular raisons and chop them up a bit.
