Re: Kale vs. Collards


I usually steam it with the usual olive/canola oil, onions and garlic just like collards. I find that it cooks in less time than collards.

I prefer kale as a snack this way-

1 bunch kale
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
================================================== =====

1.Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a non insulated cookie sheet with parchment paper.
2.With a knife or kitchen shears carefully remove the leaves from the thick stems and tear into bite size pieces. Wash and thoroughly dry kale with a salad spinner. Drizzle kale with olive oil and sprinkle with seasoning salt.
3.Bake until the edges brown but are not burnt, 10 to 15 minutes

how does it taste St Bess? or rather, what does it taste like?

Re: Kale vs. Collards

Kale has a stronger flavour and takes longer to cook than collard greens.

It has a taste somewhat similar to potato chips. I spray them with pam before baking. Do not use the 'curly' kale variety as this tends to be a little bitter. Watch the kale when baking - too little time will make it limp and too much time will give it a 'burn' taste. I got this receipe from my team leader at weight watchers.

kale has to be washed a different way than collards and for longer time...if not washed properly they will have a grittiness to them. they cook same way as collars tho
