Guest guest Posted September 11, 2002 Report Share Posted September 11, 2002 Janet: small amts of extra virgin olive oil are desirable in one's diet. Other ways of adding chpd spinach or kale to recipes that I use are in tomato sauces and other " wet " dishes. Just sprinkle some into the soup/stew/sauce..the taste is " hidden " and iMHO actually enhances the flavor. on 9/11/2002 11:03 AM, birdsrfun@... at birdsrfun@... wrote: > Does anyone have any recipes for Kale that I might use to tempt my very picky > husband into eating any? > All the ones I have call for olive oil or better yet, bacon FAT! > Any help would be appreciated. > > Janet > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2002 Report Share Posted September 11, 2002 Janet, I use Walford's recipe for roasted Spinach with Kale. Here's the way I do it 1) Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a pot. Add 10 cloves minced Garlic (yes, 10 cloves, but do not worry). Heat covered for about 3 minutes stirring. 2) Wash fresh Spinach (2 bunches) and kale (1 bunch) in water (fill the sink with cold water and swirl each). Chop. 3) Add spinach and kale, while still wet, to the pot and cook until the leaves wilt. 4) Add 1/4 teaspoon of Margaram (the spice) and 1 teaspoon low salt soy sauce. Mix and heat about 5 minutes. My 6 and 8 year old daughters eat this so hopefully your husband will tolerate it.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2002 Report Share Posted September 11, 2002 Re: Recipes for Kale? Thanks for the help on recipes for Kale. I hadn't thought of adding it to soup and sauces. I know olive oil is good for us, it is the bacon fat that most recipes seem to use that I know is a no no. Trouble is even with the bacon fat my DH wouldn't eat it so I was having the bacon, and he was having nothing! I will try all the suggestions. I like the steam and omelet suggestions too. On suggestion was to use, Margaram (the spice), I have never heard of this spice. What does it taste like? Thanks all for your replies.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2002 Report Share Posted September 11, 2002 My 4-year-old is a fiend for ramen noodle soup and would eat it every day. When I make a batch for the kids, I ladle out all the noodles in their bowls and reserve some broth in the pan. I add kale chopped into thin ribbons (plus zucchini and other veggies on hand) and simmer for a minute or so. Delicious. Sometimes even the kids will tolerate a few greens in their soup. Maybe your husband would begin to enjoy kale when mixed in with familiar favorites. Dixie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 12, 2002 Report Share Posted September 12, 2002 > Does anyone have any recipes for Kale that I might use to tempt my very picky > husband into eating any? Our family favorite, even the picky eaters love it: large bunch of kale, loosely chopped 2 cloves garlic, minced 1-2 TBSP vinegar tsp olive oil dash of pepper sauce Heat chopped kale, olive oil and garlic in saute pan at medium heat until kale is wilted and soft - about 3-5 minutes. Turn off heat and add in vinegar and pepper sauce. Mix well. Another way I use it is in homemade soups. One of my favorites is very simple. 2 cups chicken broth, chopped green onion, tin of drained smoked oysters, cup of chopped kale. Mix all together and simmer for 10 minutes. This is very nutritious! Lots of B-12 and minerals. It's my version of oyster stew. Add some mushrooms and a little miso to make it Japanese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 12, 2002 Report Share Posted September 12, 2002 I think they meant marjoram. It's related to oregano, but tastes more like thyme.
