    Kale's not bad (if you like cabbage and broccolli anyway - tastes of that kind) but it's tough and can go slimy fairly easily.

    Cut out as much of the stalk as you can and chop the leaves fairly small (scissors are a blessing here!) then I coat in heated olive oil in a HOT pan, add a couple of TbSps of water and put the lid on the pan; steam like that for two minutes and voila, done.

    Then stir in a dollop of butter and some freshly grated nutmeg.......yummy!icon10.gif

    It is a bit of a difficult vegetable to deal with. I would welcome any appetising recipe please

    I stir-fry mine with garlic and soy sauce.

    The ability of skinny old ladies to carry huge loads is phenomenal. An ant can carry one hundred times its own weight, but there is no known limit to the lifting power of the average tiny eighty-year-old Spanish peasant grandmother.

    Add some toasted flaked almonds, and you're away!

  • Use it instead of instead of cabbage in bubble & squeak.
  • I would just cook as you would cabbage and take it from there ;)
  • :drool: Have it in Africa - chopped, salt and garlic and either stir fry or lightly boil - a tad of butter helps but can't always get that where I work - YUUUUMMMMMMMMMM!!

    Lightly boil it, then mash it into some spuds.
