This is my favourite Kale Salad. Basically you massage the Kale with lemon juice and let it sit for a while to just slightly soften. Then add the other ingredients and toss. It's simple, fast and so flavourful.
Kale Salad
Ingredients:
Long Kale
Fresh lemon Juice
Turkey Bacon, broken into pieces
Feta (crumbled)
Cranberries
Pine nuts
Drizzle olive oil, salt, pepper
I go the old fashioned way to keep as much of the nutrients as possible (well, as much without eating it raw).
I tend to just wing it. I have a roommate that influences me in that regard.
I keep it simple.
I steam it.
And I steam it in chicken stock/beef stock or bullion. Add a squirt of lemon juice, some lemon pepper, and a dash of red pepper flakes.
Sometimes I'll throw in fresh green beans.
Basically makes a Kale soup.
I grew up eating stomp pot. (boerenkool) Kale potatoes and sausage. Yum! I also toss it in with my greens a lot.
I have a pot of it growing on my steps, it's relatively easy to grow.
I do roasted beet root (smaller the sweeter) and toasted pine nuts and steamed kale. Cut the roasted beet root into small chunks and mix it all together with lots of black pepper and a small amount of butter.
Kale is great, love it fresh as salad, as blended soup with veggies from the fridge or as side dish to fish.
Kale Side Dish:
-potato
-kale
-good olive oil (I am lucky to consume home made one)
-salt
In salted water add pealed and cut on small cubes potato. When cooked remove most of the water, add kale and cook for few minutes. Gently mix all together so you don't make mash potato out of it but to help most of the water to vaporize. Add olive oil and serve as side dish to grilled fish or file. Easy and delicious.
Sometimes I use chard instead of kale, equally yummy.
Frittata with Kale
Chop kale into bite size pieces and thinly slice a red onion. Saute both in olive oil and a bit of butter, salt and pepper to taste. Scramble eggs and/or egg whites and pour over softened veggies, continue cooking on your stove top until the bottom sets, sprinkle with pecorino cheese and place under the broiler until golden brown.
I enjoy this for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
We really enjoy Kale many ways but microwaved and a bit of cheese through it is our most regular method.
I will be trying Dani's slaw it sounds great.
I love kale in zuppa Toscana, but Dani's slaw recipe looks good too!
I like kale/spring greens just in a good based frying pan, with a little water and sunflower oil. Once it heats, reduce the heat and put the lid on. Add some finely chopped garlic, and when the water evaporates add some soy sauce and keep stirring. Some sunflowers seeds can be nice thrown at this point too. Its a really nice, easy, tasty side dish to any main veg or meat.
Spread it out on a baking tray put a bit of oil, a bit of five spice and some seasoning over it. Put it in the oven for about 20 minutes on 180C (stir it up occasionally)
