    Maybe try adding some broth/stock and some other vegetables and seasonings to make it into a soup?

    And/or some smoked sausage.

    Kale tastes like dirt. I can't handle it.

    try using as a topping in a chicken/steak wrap or something where the taste will be less noticeable.

    Agreed, plus if you puree it, the flavors you don't like will be less noticeable. Don't puree the smoked sausage - add it for flavor after the kale and beans are pureed.

    I can't do kale unless it's baby kale mixed in with other salad greens.

    There are better tasting greens out there with more nutrients. It's not the best.

    I don't know if you can save it. Personally I know I'd still taste it so I'd toss it and move on.

    Maybe you just need to wash it? Like it or not, it really shouldn't taste anything like dirt.

    Ya, kale can taste grassy but shouldn't taste like dirt.

    I like kale and white beans... but not sure I could eat that. Needs something to break up the flavor.

    Garlic, onions, tomatoes help. You could also add a small amount of spicy sausage for a kick.

    That is an odd combination for sure. I would rework it into a soup, stir fry or something else. And never batch cook a recipe that you have not tried before, for exactly this reason.

    What sounds good in theory or on paper is not always so good in reality.

    Couldn't you just process that and make a dip? Obviously it would need a few more ingredients.

    Tupperware that son of a gun and give it to me. I'll eat it.

    Absolutely turn it into soup! Look up recipes for minestrone and go from there.

    Turning into soup sounds like the best plan. Though I recommend removing most of the kale, that stuff is vile. Note spinach and silver beet are so much nicer and don't belong in kale hell.

    Kale is tough. Adding water or vegetable broth might help.

    lolol. I think it looks good!

    One night I decided to go on a kale kick so I made a crap ton of kale chips-I mean a lot. I woke up to discover I was allergic, at least to that much! Whoops.

    Mmm, yeah, kale-white bean hummus. Add olive oil, garlic, your favorite herbs (thyme or rosemary, I'm thinking), and puree into a dip.

    But the soup idea is good too. With sausage. That's what I think of when I hear white beans and kale. Are you sure you cooked it enough, OP?
