Sounds a lot like Northern German “Grünkohl mit Pinkel”.
Except we don’t mash it.SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 3 months ago
You forgot the butter.
maltasoron@sopuli.xyz 3 months ago
Yeah, you need butter, milk, gravy or water to make it mushy.

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
rbos@lemmy.ca 3 months ago
Great with vinegar too.
kalpol@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Yeah was about to say the only kale I ever liked was in a soup recipe and this was probably it
Squirrelsdrivemenuts@lemmy.world 3 months ago
I recently moved to france and they just don’t sell kale around where I live. Stampot cravings get real!
gon@lemm.ee 3 months ago
Kale is delish!

Garlic, motherfucker, do you use it!?
(Love kale and the weird little mutants called kalettes. If you don’t use any aromatics or seasoning though, you’re gonna have a bad time)
nifty@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Tbf I just think it’s not up to me to redeem something by adding more flavor to it. Either it brings something to the table itself or it can just go (to the trash can)
Cracks_InTheWalls@sh.itjust.works 3 months ago
The downvotes seem a bit much for that opinion, but I am imaging you eating a plain chicken breast and am deeply sad about that image.

Rooty@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Of course kale is going to taste like shit if you dont properly cook it. Boil it in salted water with potatoes, strain it, mix it with olive oil and garlic and serve it with chicken.
JargonWagon@lemmy.world 3 months ago
And then throw the kale in the trash
Tiefkuehlkost@feddit.org 3 months ago
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).
menemen@lemmy.world 3 months ago
And I cannot be in a house where it is cooked. It smells so terrible.
jewbacca117@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Gotta cook it more. And add a small mountain of garlic

I like kale chips
perestroika@lemm.ee 3 months ago
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.

Jake salad is pretty good too. Chopped up kale with broccoli crowns, blueberries, carrots , red onion sunflower seeds, and a pomegranate dressing.
Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 3 months ago
Kale is a vile unholy weed. No leaf vegetable should be able to survive frost like that.
naught@sh.itjust.works 3 months ago
But it’s so yummy and bitter and good for u 🥺
Grtz78@feddit.org 3 months ago
It’s not bitter after frost.
can@sh.itjust.works 3 months ago
perestroika@lemm.ee 3 months ago
Half of Europe survived the Little Ice Age because of that unholy weed. :)
enbyecho@lemmy.world 3 months ago
This does not appear to be well known: kale really needs colder temperatures in order to taste best. It’s sweetest when it has been through a frost or two. Unfortunately that’s not always maximally profitable for Huge Giant Corporate farms and so your kale is grown in warmer temperatures and tends to be bitter.
On the plus side, it’s incredibly easy to grow yourself.

As a Portlander, this is blasphemy

Idk why people use coconut oil for things like that when olive oil is tastier, healthier, and, at least where I’m at, cheaper. I get the smoke point thing, but that’s not relevant for use cases like that.
LordKitsuna@lemmy.world 3 months ago
It’s my understanding that when used for frying coconut oil actually creates less of the harmful byproducts of being heated then eat olive oil does
Droggelbecher@lemmy.world 3 months ago
That’s the smoke point thing I mentioned.
captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 3 months ago
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.”
Droggelbecher@lemmy.world 3 months ago
It does have saturated fat though. Rule of thumb, the lower the temperature at which a fat goes solid, the more saturated it is. But the solid texture can be helpful when replacement other solid fats, true!

Sauteed kale in coconut oil is not even worthy of being considered shitty food porn; that’s a crime against humanity.
And I speak as someone that is aiming at be crowned as the overlord of the shitty food porn in the respective /c/
BRB, going to make food porn with kale and coconut oil.
Now, it’s a challenge to make something good!

I don’t think I’d ever had kale. But in theory doesn’t it work the same as lettuce? Just to be a vessel for huge globs of dressing?
morgunkorn@discuss.tchncs.de 3 months ago
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
Barbudo@lemm.ee 3 months ago
Try a rolling pin on Tuscan Kale. Break down the fibers.
Goes great as a Kale Caesar salad with Blackened Salmon.
ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 3 months ago
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.
grrgyle@slrpnk.net 3 months ago
Thankfully, It’s also pretty easy to grow if you have a row available
grrgyle@slrpnk.net 3 months ago
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.
tomenzgg@midwest.social 3 months ago
We were out of spinach (admittedly, I hate lettuce so I usually use spinach, instead) so I subbed in kale for my lunch sandwich, one time. I thought it worked alright, though.
superkret@feddit.org 3 months ago
Kale has a very strong, unique taste and is quite chewy.
You don’t add any dressing.
affiliate@lemmy.world 3 months ago
kale is and will always be bird food. it is unfair to kale to judge it as human food, that was never its purpose.
Rolive@discuss.tchncs.de 3 months ago
Kale is great when mixed with smashed potatoes in a giant pan with some bacon or sausage.
M137@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Kale is awesome in all forms. In soups, as crisps, stewed and everything else!
peteypete420@sh.itjust.works 3 months ago
Kale crisps soooo goooooood
Coreidan@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Hilarious joke bro! Do you do stand up?
