Kale

[Owlie]

My usual approach to this (beyond sausage, kale and white bean soup) is either bacon (with or without onion or garlic), or garlic, onion and red pepper flakes. Today, I tried something else to go with the curry-spiced meatballs that I dug out of the freezer. I cooked 1/4 of a smallish onion in olive oil until it started to soften, added 1 minced clove of garlic and cooked it until golden, then added three large kale leaves, roughly chopped. To that, I added probably 2 tsp of dessicated coconut (the unsweetened stuff!), garam masala (don't know how much; maybe 1/3-1/2 tsp, but mine is kind of old), and a little bit of salt. Tasty!

Crazy good thing to do with kale - and good for you too

shred/chop raw kale finely, put into a bowl with a tablespoon or two of olive oil (depends on how much kale you have), salt and pepper and some minced raw garlic

now time to get messy - massage the kale/oil/garlic mixture with your fingers until the kale has softened a bit.

You can simply eat that, but I like to toss it with some cooked quinoa, chick peas, sliced green onion, a bit of lemon or lime juice and some crumbled feta cheese - yum!

I thought you were gonna say... and then toast it on a baking sheet until crispy. That's how I like it!

That's the third time I've seen a version of that recipe in the last month.

Pity my kale crop was so pathetic this year. :( Do you think it would work with chard, or are the leaves too delicate?

Should I play relaxing music for it too? :p
