What to do with Kale

make chips

I like it steamed with salt and pepper.

And just serve it as a side? Or can it be incorporated in other dishes?

Kale Jambalaya

"The recipe that Jim Core shared for author Poppy Tooker's "Crescent City Farmers Market Cookbook" was equally unorthodox, an evolution of the greens gumbo. The recipe calls for two bunches of fresh kale, something not seen in most jambalayas."

2 bunches fresh kale
3 cups chicken stock
1 onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
1-1/2 lbs andouille sausage, cut into round slices
1 lb bacon
5 cups water
2 cups brown rice
Creole seasoning (Core preferred Tom Bonnecaze's Salt-Free Creole Seasoning)
1/2 cup plain bread crumbs
1/4 cup butter, melted

1. Thoroughly wash kale, then chop coarsely. In a 4-1/2-quart saucepan, combine kale with stock, onion and garlic. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook for about 25 minutes, or until kale is tender. Remove from heat and set aside. Do not drain.

2. Saute andouille in a frying pan until lightly browned. Remove from pan. Fry bacon until crisp, then drain on paper towels and crumble.

3. Combine water and rice in a 4-1/2-quart saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and cook about 30 minutes, or until rice is tender.

4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine kale (with all of the pot liquor), andouille and rice; season with Creole seasoning. Place mixture in a 9-by-12-inch baking pan. Mix bread crumbs with crumbled bacon and sprinkle on top of the jambalaya. Drizzle melted butter on top. Bake at 350 degrees until bread crumbs are lightly browned, 20 to 30 minutes.

I sauté it and add it to a lot of my pasta dishes. Usually just with some tomato's and parm.

Throw it away

I like to cook it down with a red onion. Then add it to some baked sweet potato cubes and add a little red wine vinegar.

That sounds great.

I have a crapton of sweet potatoes sitting around.

Make chips, throw it in smoothies, make salads with it, add it to quinoa, zucchini noodles, or pasta.

It's going to go through you with the quickness so prepare your anus.

Eat it and be smug
