    Default Kale!

    What's everyone's favourite way to eat kale?

    I have tried a kale and potato salad from a recipe I found in a book, but I didn't like it so much. It was alright but not delicious. It also called for boilling the kale, and I believe boilling veggies looses the nutrients, right?

    My mom also threw some finely chopped pieces in a pot of rice. It turned out kind of gross too.

    But! My new favourite way is to heat up a little oil (1 to 2 tsp) in a wok, and add some water. Then add the kale, some matchstick carrots, lots of grated ginger and garlic....cover it and let it cook on medium low heat for a few minutes. Totally delicious. I like it served with quinoa or rice, and seasoned with soy sauce and lemon juice.

    This is a recipe from vegetarian times about a year ago. I sometimes also add tofu to it when sauteeing the garlic.

    I usually use it in place of lettuce or spinach on a sandwich. I love kale! Also, I like to stir fry it with garlic, olive oil, and onion, mmmmmmmmmmm!

    Wash and tear up the kale into bite sized bits.

    In a container with a lid mix: olive oil, salt and your choice of seasoning (I like to use a pepper mix)

    Put the kale in the container, secure the lid. Shake until Kale is coated.

    Spread the kale on a oiled or sprayed cookie sheet, place in 350 degree oven for 10 minutes, stir, then cook for a little longer (at 8,900 feet above sea level it takes about another 5 minutes). Cook until crispy. Cool. (The longer you let them cook, the crispier they get, almost like a thin potato chip).

    Kale Crispies, yum, addictive.
