I first recall coming across it in Sainsburys as a student in the mid 80s. I don't remember eating it before so I don't know why I was brave enough to try it. It came roughly chopped, and had a serving suggestion of frying it gently with some diced bacon (guess we'd call them lardons nowadays) and stirring in some sour cream. As a sour cream addict with a savoury tooth I think it was that which won me over.
Nearly 30 years on (where did that time go?) I have it growing in my garden, and we get it delivered in our vegbox so what do I do with it?
In no particular order, I make
- Caldo Verde - Portuguese Kale & Potato Soup
- Kale Pesto
- Spicy Kale & Chickpeas
- Minestrone Soup
- Mince it fine and hide it in a Bolognaise, Chilli con Carne, Shepherds Pie etc
