I'm not going to lie... I was terrified of Kale. I picked some up at the recommendation of my awesome internet friend, Keri, over at www.ieattrees.com
I stared at it for a minute and put it in the fridge trying to think of what in the world I could do with it. I turned to my very best friend, google, and found a couple of doable options. I threw a handful into my daily smoothie and found that the taste didn't linger much at all, unlike spinach and the other greens I've tried. Then I decided that I'd be really brave and saute some! I browned onion in a couple tablespoons of olive oil and let that simmer for awhile with rosemary, thyme, and caraway seed. I tossed the Kale in for about 7 minutes until it was nice and tender and put it over some mashed cauliflower, drizzled a tiny bit of olive oil on top, salt and peppered and chowed down. It was SO good! Kale just might become one of my favorite greens of all time! :)
Dinner tonight was just left over spaghetti from last night. It's even better the second time around!
