curly kale.... help me!

[starlover]

i have the most ginormous bag of it... what can i do with it?

cook it like cabbage. It is loverleey.
Or stir fry with garlic and crispy bacon bits.

Strip it off the stalk,shred it, steam it, and serve it mixed in with creamed potatoes, with lots of butter.

Yummy

yum

Would that be from a veg delivery box?

They keep putting it in our boxes.

Its disgusting.

Maybe I need to boil it till its completely dead?

Brassicas. Yuk.

I want chocolate.

Not very flexible as veg goes but you can make a thick potato soup with curly kale in it. Use a good stock and lots of onion. A close alternative to that might be to serve it ether in or with cullen skink - smoked haddock baked in milk with mashed potato and onions.

Oooh ... it's so good for you, you know... I almost always have it as a side veg when we get the big bag thing, and you can just feel the vitamins coursing through your veins.

NO, don't boil til dead! steam for 8 mins tops!

good with chicken, pasta, lemon and cream

good in peasant type italian soup with carrots, onion, potatoes, borlotti beans, tomatoes, etc...

mmm gingerbear, with bacon, ooh yes...

it's also nice in stir fries

fruitful... yes! from abel and cole!

i wish mine had chocolate in it too! lol

hmmm lots of suggestions here! but which one to choose...

no bacon or chicken.. we're veggie!!!

Hmm. I stir-fried it for 4 minutes, as per veg-box-people's recipe. Was it still raw, do you think?

Maybe I'll do the fry with garlic & bacon thing. I've got some "black kale" this week. Same thing, ish?

Perhaps I'll just fry the bacon in garlic and stick it between some bread...

What about stir-frying it with tofu? Or mushrooms, with soy, ginger, sherry, chilie, garlic,spring onions, shredded carrots... um

It really is delicious.

so how long should i stir-fry for?

Do you like it crunchy or 'al dente'?
If al dente, then stir fry for 3 mins, then add a cup of water and put a lid on it for a minute or so until it softens up.
Can I come for tea?

no idea! have never had it before! my mum said she remembers it from school and it was always tough and horrible... so hoping i can prove her wrong! lol

you're welcome for tea! shall i do the whole bag? lol
