There’s only one way to eat kale: “Stamppot”
Edit with simple recipe: You boil the kale. Boil some potatoes. Throw them together and mash them with a masher. Add some fine cut bacon cubes (lightly fried) if you like and add pepper and salt and gravy to taste. Don’t forget to serve “rookworst” on the side
Of course kale is going to taste like shit if you dont properly cook it. Boil it in salted water with potatoes, strain it, mix it with olive oil and garlic and serve it with chicken.
I don’t think I’d ever had kale. But in theory doesn’t it work the same as lettuce? Just to be a vessel for huge globs of dressing?
Kinnnda, but if you treat it like lettuce you’ll be disappointed. It’s a lot chewier. Think of it as in between lettuce and cabbage. Unless you’re just bunging it in a soup you probably have to do a little more work on it.
I like to “massage” when eating eating raw. That’s where you strip the leaves off the stalks and vigorously kneed and scrunch those up with your hands until they’re soft to the touch.
Then you can throw in whatever dressing you like. Toasted sunflower seeds and dried cranberries are good at this stage, to really emphasise the toothiness of kale.
It’s also kinda like spinach come to think of it. A lot of the same tricks work on it.
We were out of spinach (admittedly, I hate lettuce so I usually use spinach, instead) so I subbed in kale for my lunch sandwich, one time. I thought it worked alright, though.
Your sandwiches sounds willlld
Ran out of spinach, again, this week so tagged kale in (in case you wanted to see it in action):
That’s a 10 out of 10 from me!
