Garlic, motherfucker, do you use it!?
(Love kale and the weird little mutants called kalettes. If you don't use any aromatics or seasoning though, you're gonna have a bad time)
Tbf I just think it’s not up to me to redeem something by adding more flavor to it. Either it brings something to the table itself or it can just go (to the trash can)
Of course kale is going to taste like shit if you dont properly cook it. Boil it in salted water with potatoes, strain it, mix it with olive oil and garlic and serve it with chicken.
Here in Germany cook its for hours in vegetable broth with Mettwurst and Pinkel (sausages), bacon and onions, then its eaten with potatos and Kassler (smoked pork chop).
And I cannot be in a house where it is cooked. It smells so terrible.
And then throw the kale in the trash
skill issue
I like kale chips
Kale salad is pretty good too. Chopped up kale with broccoli crowns, blueberries, carrots , red onion sunflower seeds, and a pomegranate dressing.
I came here to say that, but you got here first, so have my upvote. :)
Recipe:
- bucket of kale leaves, shredded by hand, rinsed
- half a lemon's juice
- some teaspoons of salt
- several tablespoons of deactivated / roasted / nutritional yeast
- some teaspoons of your favourite spices (garlic / onion / paprica / tumeric / anything goes)
To be mixed in a huge bowl and laid out into 2 food dryers. Sorry, I don't have exact quantities, I always use both of my food driers. I run them at +70 C.
Kale is awesome in all forms. In soups, as crisps, stewed and everything else!
Kale crisps soooo goooooood
Hilarious joke bro! Do you do stand up?
There's only one way to eat kale: "Stamppot"
Edit with simple recipe: You boil the kale. Boil some potatoes. Throw them together and mash them with a masher. Add some fine cut bacon cubes (lightly fried) if you like and add pepper and salt and gravy to taste. Don't forget to serve "rookworst" on the side
Sounds a lot like Northern German "Grünkohl mit Pinkel".
Except we don't mash it.Great with vinegar too.
Thank you for sharing, I’m saving this to try for later. I don’t usually have an issue with Kale. But this sounds to good to pass up
Yeah was about to say the only kale I ever liked was in a soup recipe and this was probably it
I recently moved to france and they just don't sell kale around where I live. Stampot cravings get real!
This does not appear to be well known: kale really needs colder temperatures in order to taste best. It's sweetest when it has been through a frost or two. Unfortunately that's not always maximally profitable for Huge Giant Corporate farms and so your kale is grown in warmer temperatures and tends to be bitter.
On the plus side, it's incredibly easy to grow yourself.
Kale is delish!
Idk why people use coconut oil for things like that when olive oil is tastier, healthier, and, at least where I'm at, cheaper. I get the smoke point thing, but that's not relevant for use cases like that.
See my understanding of coconut oil is it's a better substitute for lard or shortening because 1. it's unsaturated fat rather than saturated fat and 2. it's not hydrogenated. It's a vegetable oil that's solid at room temperature, which is why you see it used in packaged baked goods a lot, because in the words of Alton Brown, "It'll stay moist and unctuous while having the shelf life of uranium."
It's my understanding that when used for frying coconut oil actually creates less of the harmful byproducts of being heated then eat olive oil does
That's the smoke point thing I mentioned.
In 60 mins I am gonna have some and it's going to be the highlight of my week, and I had a fucking good week
Na denn: Mahlzeit!
Gotta cook it more. And add a small mountain of garlic
Sauteed kale in coconut oil is not even worthy of being considered shitty food porn; that's a crime against humanity.
And I speak as someone that is aiming at be crowned as the overlord of the shitty food porn in the respective /c/
BRB, going to make food porn with kale and coconut oil.
Now, it's a challenge to make something good!
Kale jummy
kale is and will always be bird food. it is unfair to kale to judge it as human food, that was never its purpose.
Kale is great when mixed with smashed potatoes in a giant pan with some bacon or sausage.
As a Portlander, this is blasphemy
I don't think I'd ever had kale. But in theory doesn't it work the same as lettuce? Just to be a vessel for huge globs of dressing?
Kale is quite more fibrous, it's better cut in strips and blanched in salted water, then it gets softer. I quite like the taste, it's a great winter vegetable, mixed with diced potatoes and carrots for example
Kinnnda, but if you treat it like lettuce you'll be disappointed. It's a lot chewier. Think of it as in between lettuce and cabbage. Unless you're just bunging it in a soup you probably have to do a little more work on it.
I like to "massage" when eating eating raw. That's where you strip the leaves off the stalks and vigorously kneed and scrunch those up with your hands until they're soft to the touch.
Then you can throw in whatever dressing you like. Toasted sunflower seeds and dried cranberries are good at this stage, to really emphasise the toothiness of kale.
It's also kinda like spinach come to think of it. A lot of the same tricks work on it.
Kale is a lot tougher. I honestly prefer kale stir fry over cabbage stir fry and in salads.
Also kale chips.
Unfortunately, kale has become a super food so it's been kinda expensive.
Thankfully, It's also pretty easy to grow if you have a row available
Kale has a very strong, unique taste and is quite chewy.
You don't add any dressing.
