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

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.
Pinkel as in peeing?
It's almost the same word (Pinkel is a noun, pinkeln is a verb)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinkel
The word for the sausage is Frisian and related to "pinky".
You forgot the butter.
Yeah, you need butter, milk, gravy or water to make it mushy.
I never add milk and butter, but it's a good variation

Kale is delish!
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 a vile unholy weed. No leaf vegetable should be able to survive frost like that.
Half of Europe survived the Little Ice Age because of that unholy weed. :)
But it's so yummy and bitter and good for u 🥺
2 of those 3 things are correct
well it's only bitter until it's gone through frost, apparently, so...
It's not bitter after frost.
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 does have saturated fat though. Rule of thumb, the lower the temperature at which a fat goes solid, the more saturated it is. But the solid texture can be helpful when replacement other solid fats, true!
Huh, I've been working under the impression this whole time that coconut oil is made of monounsaturated fat. That impression comes from watching some cooking shows that one time and thus might be incorrect.
Another thing about coconut oil compared to lard: You don't have to take a band saw to a pig in order to make it.
It's absolutely healthier than animal fat, never mind the lack of cruelty! I wasn't too sure anymore after your comment, so I looked it up, and it seemed that yeah, pretty saturated. I personally just use margarine even though it's trans fats, because the amount I use won't harm me much and it doesn't require animals or being shipped from overseas. A little coconut oil definitely won't kill you either!
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 great when mixed with smashed potatoes in a giant pan with some bacon or sausage.
kale is and will always be bird food. it is unfair to kale to judge it as human food, that was never its purpose.
As a Portlander, this is blasphemy
