What do I make with curly Kale?

anonymousie

Got a big bag of Kale in the veg box this week, there are 5 hungry people to feed...

Tues: heaps of it as vegetable with lentil loaf, pots and carrots.

Wed :leftovers in kale "bubble and squeak" (with ilatian sauce with beans incase you want to know!).

Thurs: made a large sweet potato stew and used as much as I could "fit" in that.

There is still a good 1/3 of the bag left:rotfl: I'm sure it is refilling itself at night.

Just the opposite of last weeks huge bag of spinach- used all of that in the sweet pot stew last week and it disappeared:rotfl: .

Anyone got and good Kale Recipes mine's going great guns in the garden atm and im abit bored of stir frying it or just boiling it.

I did a search on the web and loads of sites suggested that kale was often eaten in a spiced minced beef in european country's this sounds YUMMY but i can't seem to find a single recipe telling me how to do it?

Hi Taye,

There are some links to spiced beef recipes with kale here

There's an earlier thread with lots of ideas for using kale that should help so I've added your post to it to keep the suggestions together.

Mmm, home grown kale - lucky you! :drool:

You can treat it pretty much the same way you would green cabbage, although (depending on how thick the leaves are) it can sometimes take a bit longer to cook. I like it best stirfried, but you can steam / boil it as well if you prefer.

I hope you enjoy it.

kale is good in soup too just chop it up or it freezes well, just pop it in a freezer bag and when you need it just scrunch some from the bag whilst frozen it breaks easily then
