    Add sliced garlic, little red pepper, sauté - I normally use olive oil but bacon fat sounds lovely. If you find sautéing leaves it too tough for your taste, add a little stock to it and simmer for several minutes after you sauté. When the liquid is absorbed, deglaze the pan with balsamic vinegar.

    I prefer the flat leaved lacinato variety. It makes good kale chips in the oven.

    Not sure if it affects the nutrition but kale chips are incredible. We have adapted to using a mrs.dash garlic and herb seasoning and finishing them with salt and Parmesan. My boyfriend and I probably go through 3-4 bunches a week.

    If you put it in a pan and add coconut oil, it makes it easier to throw the whole thing away

    I grew far too much in my community garden one year. I found many ways to prepare it. It is like tough spinach, so I think it is better cooked. The pork fat sounds about perfect.

    You can sub any recipe that calls for spinach (keeping in mind that Kale is tougher).

    If preparing raw, chop really fine. Long fine strips are attractive.

    I personally don't mind kale, but that made me laugh. :)

    If u Google Deliciously Ella kale salad you will find a recipe which I really like. You will, however, have to ignore just how irritating Ella is. Or that could just be me...
