I'm not vegetarian but I'm always interested in more veg recipes. Mostly I'm just impressed by anyone who uses frankenstein as a verb.

Hey, does anyone have any good kale recipes? I eat it raw in salads but I'm looking for ways to incorporate it into other dishes besides salads & soups. I found a pretty good looking kale and potato gratin but I've not tried it yet.

Thanks,
Hudson

1 bunch chopped kale
1/4 cup natural peanut butter
1 tablespoon vegetable oil (or spritz of non-stick spray)
1/2 teaspoon coriander
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/3 chopped onion
1 garlic clove
1/4 cup vegetable broth or water
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:

In a pan, heat vegetable oil. Fry garlic and onions, until translucent.

Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix peanut butter, broth/water, and spices until the peanut butter has dissolved, and it has turned saucy.

Add kale to the pan, and cook until the leaves are dark green and wilted.

Add the peanut butter sauce to the pan. If it is too dry, add broth/water to reach desired consistency.

Kale (any amount)
Frozen soybeans (1/4 the amount of the kale)
salt: about half a handful (optional but recommended)
cooking oil
soy sauce

Directions:

Wash and finely chop the kale.
Add a whole lot of salt and press (with some sort of weight), refrigerated, for at least 4 hours.
Thoroughly wash off the salt and drain. Heat up the cooking oil in a wok while you're doing this and start some water boiling for the soybeans.
Boil the soybeans, covered, for about 5 minutes; drain.
Stir-fry the kale. Add the soybeans. Add soy sauce (to taste). Stir-fry for about ten minutes. You can eat this either by itself (makes a great snack) or served over cooked rice.

ha, of course i fail to mention no soybeans (although i love them)
due to the fatty sterols. maybe i could substitute another bean?
i will definitely try these weatherboi, thank you! i especially love the
combination of spicy and peanutty.

go for a chickpea...it is firm like soybean...it is about the texture as much as taste.

i agree with the boi of weather ...chickpeas would be superyum. another kind that comes to mind is fava beans (if you can resist the hannibal lector noises that is.)
