Re: kale

Yes, I cook kale too. I sometimes mix them with collards like Ms. Exced. They are sweeter than collards, and people who find collards bitter (not me lol) seem to like them better.

Re: kale

i don't like collards

kale is ok. not going out of my way to buy it and cook it though.

the greenest green i eating these days is spinach

Re: kale

so it might be good in a caserole with say, callaloo and spinach, with onions, pour beaten milk, eggs, seasonings, grated cheese and breadcrumbs on top and bake...(no longer healthy, but tasty!)

Re: kale

when u bake kale on its own it comes out crispy. Maybe it will soften up with all that milk and cheese thrown on top of it.

I don't think that's going to work. Spinach is soft, cooks quickly, and has a mild flavor. Kale has a texture more like collards and a distinct taste. You can either slice it thin and cook it briefly over high heat or cook it for a longer time until tender.

Re: kale

Kale is wonderful chopped then lightly sauteed with olive oil, garlic, and red pepper flakes to taste. Add to pasta along with your favorite meat, top with shaved parmesan, and yuh set.

Agree with Flowers, don't mix with spinach (or even callaloo) because kale's texture is not as soft.

Re: kale

omelette with sauteed kale and extra old cheddar
kale cooked like callalloo is good too, though kale is a bit chewier (at least, the curly one dem sell up dis side).

good for juicing. and as base for jcan style pepperpot soup.

i've done this...and ...
now kale does need to cooked longer than spinach (but i dont usually eat my spinach cooked...so...). So if you need so have &quot;soft&quot; kale then steam it first then add it to your casserole. just be sure to get all the water out.
O, and why your above typed recipe not healthy?

Re: kale

i think is more &quot;low calorie&quot; is what she meant, with the addition of cheese , breadcrumbs and probably full fat milk to the healthy yet taste bad kale.
