[Ag-eq] Curly kale

[Tracy Carcione]

I'm not as good as I should be about cooking greens.  When I cook kale, I
chop it up and saute it with maybe some onion, a dash of salt, maybe a touch
of vinegar.
Nella's ideas sound good.
I bet it would be good chopped, sautéed a bit, then mixed with pasta and
tomato sauce.

Jewel:

I love kale and use it all the time.

You can cook it like you would any other green.  Sometimes I substitute it
in recipes that call for spinach.

I also use it in stir fries instead of cabbage.

I've seen some recipes where you just barely cook it and then use it in a
salad; I haven't tried this, so don't know how it would turn out.  I did try
using it raw in salads, but it seemed a little tough and bitter.  I have
shredded it and put it in some slaws and it wasn't bad after marinating for
a while.

I'm sure there's all kinds of recipes on line.

Yes, you're right, it's very good for you.  It comes in different colors, so
it looks pretty in a garden.

Maybe Tracy has some better ideas.
