I’ve never been a huge fan of kale. I’m more of a chard girl. To me kale is that stuff in the salad bar stuffed in between the dressing crocks for decoration.
But I got a nice looking bundle of it in my CSA box last week and I’m determined to figure out one or two recipes I can live with. Word on the street is it’s damn good for you.
So, who here likes kale, and what do you DO with it?

Re: What to do with Kale?
Tue, June 23, 2009 - 10:31 AMI wash it off and eat it raw. I like the flavor.
I was also thinking it might be pleasant being thrown in at the last minute to a skillet that contained carmelized onions, some garlic, pepper, and balsalmic vinegar. -

Tue, June 23, 2009 - 7:49 PMcarmelized onions. Mmmmmmmmmm. Almost better than good sex.
I cant eat it anymore because it's way high in vitamin K. Which is great for people not on blood thinners. But when I used to be able to eat it I thought it was atrocious as well as beets. Grody to the max for shar Becky. Like totally. Way. But I knew it was VERY healthy for me and put it in my juicer and you couldnt even taste it. Juice that kale baby!!! Juice the hell out of it. It's sooooooooo healthy for you and your mama. : ) -

Tue, June 23, 2009 - 9:54 PMPerhaps you can do what I do - keep my meds so that I'm on the "high" end of the range, so when I sometimes eat foods high in vitamin K I remain in the theraputic range. But you may have a more conservative INR range than I do. -

Thu, August 13, 2009 - 8:44 PMH-man why do you take coumadin? You have mechanical valve too? I think I'm supposed to be between 2.5 & 3.5. I always forget. I dont even know what the number means really. I just avoid all foods high in k for the most part.

Re: What to do with Kale?
Thu, August 13, 2009 - 9:43 PMthe search engine for tribe is great--try it!-- and there are a crapload of recipes for kale! I love it stir-fried, in soups, juiced, in smoothies, made into chips or dehydrated crackers, massaged with salt and made into raw salads, fermented, and used as wraps for rolled up snacks or taco-like things. Kale ROCKS. My favorite to eat is Russian Red, and my favorite to juice is Dinosaur Kale.
