Ralphie ★ Posted July 20, 2021 Share #1 Posted July 20, 2021 Do make kale chips - quick, easy, delicious, you can season to taste, ethereal texture. Don't try to saute in olive earl. Chewy AF! Do saute in water, which I 'spose is actually braising. Anyhoo, it gets softer that way - much mo better texture. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razors Edge ★ Posted July 20, 2021 Share #2 Posted July 20, 2021 We eat a lot of kale. Not as many kale chips as we used to, but lots in other recipes. It's a pretty tasty green, but most are if cooked properly. Kalebanzo was dinner last night. That's a kale and chickpea dish served over quinoa. Tasty for sure.

They are like chewing a branch. I saute it, but you have to cook it enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randomguy Posted July 20, 2021 Share #5 Posted July 20, 2021 I like kale chips, but it is a shit ton of work for tiny amounts of kale chips. Kale in green smoothies is the way to get your kale requirements met. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisL Posted July 20, 2021 Share #6 Posted July 20, 2021 You guys crack me up with both the kale is super food & kale is crap posts. Northern Europeans have been eating the stuff for ages. I grew up with it & love it. I sauté it with onion before adding rough mash potato & meat for Dutch Stamppot and I find a pinch of sugar keeps the bitterness down. https://www.panningtheglobe.com/dutch-stamppot/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I will steam the crap oot of it tonight. And the chips were super easy. Just spray lightly with olive earl and salt lightly and toast or bake in the toaster over for a few minutes. I have some Frank’s hot powder that I can try on them too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also like the stems, provided you can cook the snot oot of them to render them al dente. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mom who is something of a lifelong kale expert said the grocery stores usually sells the tough frilly kind because it looks so gorgeous in all its dark green frilliness. I don;t think you would want much more than 10% of it in a salad, and even that would be pushing it IMNSHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddmaxx ★ Posted July 22, 2021 Share #21 Posted July 22, 2021 Kale soup......which is really a variation of sausage soup with kale in it. We first discovered it at Bobby Byrne's pub on Cape Cod and then figured out how to make a copy at home cause it's a pain in the ass to drive to Cape Cod for dinner.
