How do you cook your kale?

I picked some up at the farmers market but I've never made it before. Any suggestions?

Re: How do you cook your kale?

  • I add it to my stirfry or pasta primavera, usually sauteed with either olive oil or butter :) I usually cut it up pretty fine.

  • I saute slices of garlic and crushed red pepper with olive oil and then add the kale really quick to let it wilt.

    Yummmm.

  • I either do like Shug or I oil and salt it up and bake it until crispy.  If you do that, plan to consume it right away or crisp it back up before you eat it.

    That is good to know, kale "chips" was one of my initial thoughts and I would have been very disappointed to have them be soggy. Thanks for the suggestions, I'm glad to have a few options to make it desirable and also kind of hide it from DH who complains about green veggies.

  • My friend makes kale chips, if you have enough left over after trying the above suggestions...

  • Our local organic farm seems to grow a ton of varieties of kale and always has a ton on hand. So I put it in absolutely everything. Chop it up fine and add it to rice mixes, plain white rice, soup, lasagna..... just about everything gets kale in our house when I have it. My DH hasn't complained (yet) and it adds some good variety of vitamins and textures. My favorite was when I put it in a crockpot with some dried bean soup mix. Souper yummy!
