1 glass (st.) - 250 ml.
3/4 cup (st.) - 180 ml.
2/3 cup (st.) - 160 ml.
1/2 cup (st.) - 125 ml.

  • 1 bunch kale, stems removed, shredded

  • 2 slices of dried Italian bread, cut into cubes

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Grease a large saucepan with olive oil. Add half the garlic and crushed red pepper flakes and place the pan over medium heat. Sauté the garlic until golden brown and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and discard the garlic—it's done its job.

    Add the bread cubes and cook, stirring, until golden brown, crispy, and absorbing all the oil like a sponge. Remove from heat and set aside. (Another way to make croutons is to toast the bread, rub it with garlic, then drizzle with a little olive oil, then slice.)
  2. In the bowl of a food processor, combine the Parmesan cheese, lemon zest and juice, 2 cloves of garlic, mustard, anchovies, and Worcestershire sauce. Puree until smooth, about 15-20 seconds. With the food processor running, add 1/4-1/3 cup olive oil through the feed tube. Process for another 10-15 seconds. Taste and season with salt.

  3. In a large bowl, toss the kale with the croutons and 2/3 of the dressing. Let the kale sit for 3-4 minutes to soften it. Taste, add the remaining dressing, and adjust to taste.
