Kale eaters... How do you eat it?

Saute it with, lemon, garlic and olive oil.

Portuguese soup! (Kale soup) mmmmmmmm! Now I want some lol!

Kale chips, or roasted with other veggies (I like kale, parsnips and carrots).

Sauteed with butter, red wine vinegar, onion. Sun dried tomatoes are good too. I like to add some baby kale to my green smoothies in the summer, too.

if in a salad, with feta or bleu cheese (or gargonzola (spelling?) ), dried cranberries, pine nuts

3 fave ways:

1- add to my green smoothie
2- saute as several mentioned although I forgo the bacon ; )
3- salad: cut into strips, massage with a bit of olive oil, sea salt, lemon juice --- actually massage with your hands to break the cell walls down, becomes quite tender; add pine nuts, raisins or cranberries, chopped red pepper; devour. ; )

In a bowl, using a fork, mixed with spinach, tomato, carrots, feta cheese, and Italian salad dressing!

One of my fave dishes ever:
You need:
-coconut oil - I use organic spectrum
-1 leek
-kale

Thinly slice the white part of a leek
Chop a bunch of any type of kale into bite sized pieces - I prefer lacinato but any type is good
Melt coconut oil in skillet or saute pan on medium high heat
Saute leeks until soft
Add kale, saute until soft.

It sounds like nothing, but it's soooo delicious.

Forgo the bacon?!?!?!

Hearsay I tell you! Hearsay!

I've been buying baby kale lately and using it in salads and protein shakes. It's much more palatable raw than regular kale, IMO. Regular kale I usually saute with garlic and olive oil, or something to that effect.

Bump.. I thought mine was bitter the last time I got it. I wonder if I waited too long to eat it. I will be getting more in my produce basket from the coop this week, so thanks for the ideas!!!

In a smoothie or lasagna. Here is the recipe for lasagna. It always gets good reviews. http://www.vegetariantimes.com/recipe/kale-lasagna-diavolo/

Massaged in a salad, chopped in a soup, baked as a chip and my most favorite of ALL time is this creamed kale. Absolutely phenomenal!

Another thing to do - get the baby kale, which is more tender (Earthbound Farms has it over by the pre made salads) and just stick a handful in any soups, or if you are like me and eat frozen lunches, just stick a handful into whatever you are having halfway through the microwaving and it get all wilty and adds flavor. I like it with the Kashi frozen lunches like Lemongrass Chicken.

Kale is the best (green) food to eat. Actually eating dark leafy greens is always good. My husband loves kale with shreaded cabbage. In the morning I sautee 1/3 cup vegan choizo (purchase at walmart real cheap) and some chopped, 1 tbsp red onions, add Kale chopped and then add 2 parts egg whites and 1 whole egg for a quick breakfast and 1 slice of wheat toast, or make into a breakfast burrito. Real good!

For dinner I sautee kale & fresh spinach with red or white onions splash of soy sauce or if you like use the vinagar from a jar of yellow hots, salt & pepper to taste. you could also add a couple of dice red bell pepper, slices of zuccini (green & yellow) and serve with a grilled chicken breast or lean meat.
OH also great in a tuna fish sandwich. Use Kale leaves instead of lettuce can't tell the difference. I could go on and on but this is a good starting point hopefully this will give you some ideas.
enjoy!
