Just made this - added extra kale - delicious!0 -
The only thing I make with kale is a soup. It’s like a copy cat version of Zuppa toscana from Olive Garden if you’ve ever had that. It’s Italian sausage, potatoes and kale basically. Beyond that i dunno.0

So? What did you make?
I sauteed it with garlic, lemon and a little salt. Then I put it under an omelet. It was tasty but I cooked the kale like I usually saute spinach and that wasn't nearly long enough. It tasted more like a hybrid of spinach and broccoli and it needed to be cooked for much, much longer. I froze a ton that I have left over and I'll try it again... but I may not go out of my way to buy more.
Pretty much every green is delicious with garlic and lemon, but yes, kale has to be cooked a lot longer. That's also why it holds up well in soups. Freezing it should break it down some though and reduce the amount of time you have to cook it.

I agree with everyone who said salad. I like to mix it with green leaf lettuce and some parsley and then add green apple, blue cheese, and walnuts with a little red wine vinaigrette.0

Make a soup and put it in soup like a chicken soup or put it in your protein drink0

Mix kale, broccoli slaw, dried cherries/cranberries and grilled chicken together with a light dressing of choice.0

Give it to Guinea Pigs. Or make it into a Quiche.3

As mentioned above, massaged kale salad is the best! Start with kale in bite sized pieces, then sprinkle with salt, drizzle with olive oil and massage it for 2-3 minutes. It will soften and slightly reduce in volume. Then I like to add a "Just a Handful" packet of dried fruits and nuts from Trader Joes and drizzle with balsamic vinegar. My family actually requests this on a regular basis, it's so good.0

I really like kale cease salads. I make a homemade version of one I used to buy at Chopt all the time. I chop raw kale and romaine lettuce, and top it with grilled chicken, and the Panera at Home Caesar salad dressing. It is delicious!0

Massaging kale helps because humans are actually not designed to eat kale. It's technically too tough for our digestive systems (which is why is gives some people tummy troubles). Massaging helps to pre-break down the fibers in the leaves.0 -
I have a really good kale and sausage pasta that calls for a decent amount of kale. I am not normally a fan of kale, but I love this recipe.

I like to roast it with cauliflower, sweet potatoes, beets and carrots.... and because I am who I am.... add a bit of goat cheese before serving0

Kale is disgusting, blend it with fruit to boost your vitamins in a smoothy, steam it and then mix it in a STRONG soup, or feed it to food, you know like rabbits or deer, food LOVES kale.0

Ha. Whenever i buy Kale, i have to rush to eat it before my daughter feeds it all to our rabbit who absolutely loves it.
I love it as chips with a small amount of spray olive oil, salt, pepper and dried parmesan. Sometimes with cayenne pepper for a spicy change. I love the stuff, almost as much as the bunny does.0 -
I like to make a salad with it, kale, sunflower kernels, sliced red onion, and the dressing is equal parts olive oil, braggs liquid aminos and 1/2 the amount of lemon juice, pour over and let sit for a couple hours before eating.0

I'd be inclined to use the scientific method: See how hot it burns.2
