Kale crisps soooo goooooood

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 then throw the kale in the trash

Sounds a lot like Northern German "Grünkohl mit Pinkel".
Except we don't mash it.

You forgot the butter.

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

Great with vinegar too.

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 salad is pretty good too. Chopped up kale with broccoli crowns, blueberries, carrots , red onion sunflower seeds, and a pomegranate dressing.

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

But it's so yummy and bitter and good for u 🥺

Half of Europe survived the Little Ice Age because of that unholy weed. :)

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."

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

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.

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.
