Anyone have any good ideas for kale? All I've tried so far is eating it raw in a salad and it just makes me fart.

I really like it sautéed with onions, and garlic along with just a bit of olive oil, balsamic vinegar and a pinch of pepper.

I saute a bunch of sliced shallots until they're carmelized, steam the kale in water (salted or unsalted), chop and then mix together.

I like braising it in vegan powdered vegetable broth. Tasty, no oil, no added calories. Takes about 30 seconds for the kale to go limp.

I guess it's like spinach, you can put it into boiling water for only 10-30 seconds, then put in water with ice to stop the cooking so it stays crunchy.

Every made a 'wilt' or 'rub' salad??????

Source: Rainbow Green Live Food Cuisine -Gabriel Cousens
Although a raw friend of mine put me on to the rubbing method first

1) Get one bunch of dinosaur (lacinado) kale
2) Remove the main part of kale stem and chop leaves finely into a bowl
3) Add about a tsp of salt and massage or 'rub' into the leaves until they 'wilt'
4) Add about 2 tsp of fresh lemon juice and massage into the kale again

Make a salad out of your wilted kale leaves

Some salad recipes to try:

Hemp Kale Salad
1 bunch kale
1/4 cup hemp seed
1 large tomato, diced
3 Tbsp olive oil or hemp oil for a richer taste
2 tsp lemon juice and 1 tsp lemon juice to massage into the kale

Note: add the oil last otherwise the kale will not wilt as well

Avocado Kale Salad

1 bunch kale
1 large tomato
1 avocado
1 stalk celery
1/4 cup olives
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp lemon juice and 1 tsp salt to massage into the kale

Take the avocado, olive oil and celery and blend it up into a dressing to pour over the salad.

Garnish with olives.

Yummy Kale, Heck I just eat it, but love the recipes here. I am going to try a couple of them forsure.

This is pretty simple, Kale with hummus,tomatoes and scallions in a whole grain pita. I use calorie free dressing with it, but veganaise is great too if you still need your fat for the day.

There's always the banana burrito

I make vegetable soup w/just water, onions, celery, carrots, zucchini & bok choy. I add salt & pepper to taste & add kale about 10 min b4 its done. The kale gets tender like swiss chard but more firm & has a delicate taste. That's my favorite way to eat kale

we usually make kale (steamed i think, it's been a while) with beans and sausage it's yummers
