Kale suggstions

Gotta be honest, I don't love it. Love other greens... collards, turnip greens, chard, spinach... just not kale. It's so chew-y.
Does anyone cook it in some fashion as a side dish? I have a bunch at the moment and am wondering what I can do to use it this weekend. I'll have lots of teenaged mouths to feed. We'll be smoking chicken & ribs Saturday. Ideas appreciated!
I just steam it and then turn off the heat and leave the lid on for several minutes. I taste a small piece and eat when it's soft and not chewy. The trick is to steam until soft but not overcook it.
To season, I use salt and pepper or shake on a small amount of spice. Since you have teenagers, you could use your usual spice or condiments.0 -
I steam or saute it, i helps break down the greens which make them softer to eat and easier on the belly.
For a side dish, I like to braise kale in lemon juice with garlic, its so good! Or steam it and add a simple sauce of lemon, honey, garlic and pepper, throw in tomatoes and white beans, chill in the fridge. If I want it to be a meal, I eat a good chunk of bread with it.
Kale chips are super amazing as well!0 -
I've made kale chips and they come out great.
I also like kale in a soup.0
