[La Que Sabe]

jonah bought home a MASSIVE bag of kale from work because no body was buying it, i ate a bit, but now i don't know what to make with it!!

does any one have any ideas???

Colcannen!! Its a traditional Irish dish and its the best.

I cant remember the exact recipe as its been a while since I made it but you just chop up some Kale really finely along with chopped spring onion and a bit of parsley. Cook and mash some potatoes with a bit of cream and butter, mix through the greens and add a bit of chopped bacon if you like. Its great on its own or as a side.

I use it nearly any way I use spinache - pies, steamed, stir fried with garlic... Don't know what variety you have but I grow a couple of different ones in the garden and they are both beautiful chopped in a salad too, especially when young. I love kale. It is so darn nutrient packed too.

Use it in anything as a substitute to spinach! That yummy spanikopta (? spinach and riccotta pastry thingo), mushroom and kale pie/omlette, pasta bake with tomato, olive and kale, potato, lentil and kale pie. Yum, the possibilities are endless!!!!!

Might have to ask for it at the green grocer. Never hurts to try these things:p

Yes! We make these at least every week during Kale season.

I add both the bacon and the onion, but as you're vegos you could just use the onion.

To those asking about kale - it's a terrific winter vegie for a home gardener, as it's really tough and produces like mad. It's a primitive cabbage that doesn't form a head - you just pick the leaves off as you want them. Some varieties are also quite pretty. I grow Red Russian - one plant keeps us supplied from winter through to early summer.

Toddler, DP and I all love that recipe :chef: mmmm We also make it with zucchini and corn.
