Your best kale recipe

[ondaflipside]

I got them this weekend. I wanted to know if it really is all that and a bag of chips. So far, salads and sautees are what I find online. I may cook them tonight.

What do you do with yours?

I just bake the leftover kale with some salt in the oven for chips. It's kind of like eating roasted seaweed as a snack.

I've also been meaning to try making kale chips like the recipe aswartzw posted.

These are all great recipes. And I have most of these items at home. I think DH will be very impressed. Thanks, ladies!

this is my favorite

I sautee or lightly steam it , then mix it into frittatas, pastas, soups, casseroles, etc.

I add either kale or baby spinach into most of our dinners. They pack a lot of nutrients, have a mild taste, and pretty much cook down to nothing. Easy to hide in most dishes.

I do quiche as well, except I sub in egg beaters, skim milk, and turkey bacon. It's still really good with those substitutions, I swear.

kale chips are pretty good - not the same as a regular potato chip, but healthier

This is my all-time favorite kale recipe. I make it at least once a week. PERFECT for work lunches as it doesn't have to be heated. So so good.

We also like bruised-kale salads with goat cheese, dried cherries, and pinenuts, and enjoy it sauteed with onion (cooked down a lot), raisins, nuts, and cumin.

Kale Soup


Kale -- about 3 cups -- chopped small (bite size)
Garlic - about 4 cloves minced
1 onion chopped
4 carrots - chopped to bite size pieces
celery - 2 sticks – chopped to bite size pieces
4 cups chicken broth
White beans -- 2 cans, rinsed and drained
Tomatoes -- 1 can diced (orig recipe called for fresh but I did not have on hand)
2 tsp Herb de Provence (or other italian seasoning)


1) Saute onion, carrot and celery till tender with garlic in about 1 tblsp olive oil (or chicken broth).
2) Add chopped Kale till wilted then add 3 cups of chicken broth and bring to a boil. Next, add 1 can of white beans (rinsed) and the can of tomatoes. Add Herb de Provence seasoning.
3) Next puree the other can of white beans with the remaining 1 cup of chicken broth. Then add bean puree to soup to help thicken it.
4) Let simmer a good 20 minutes to help Kale soften to desired consistency!

** Soup tastes best if made one day ahead before serving!

This was a hit. We had beef curry ramen so I used it as a salad. I just did the lime juice, soy sauce, sea salt and olive oil. The kale is surprisingly good as it's 'meaty' and retains a lot of the flavors. We are a believer. I'll be trying out these recipes. Thanks, ladies!
