Our awesome market gal Ashley, put together a great newsletter a couple weeks back, dedicated to kale.  Kale can be a bit intimidating if you haven’t ever ate/cooked it before, so this informative newsletter helped a lot.  Incase you didn’t get the newsletter or haven’t tried kale out yet, start with these easy and yummy recipes:

Kale Chips – Baked

Preheat oven to 300?F.  Lay one bunch Lancinato Kale leaves out on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper.  Bake 20 minutes, or until crisp.  Allow to cool and then transfer to a bowl.  For an extra treat, crumble kale chips over popcorn and top with parmesan cheese.

Kale Salad – Raw

Slice Lancinato Kale into ¾ inch wide ribbons.  Add ½ clove garlic paste, ¼ c. finely grated Pecorino cheese, 3 T. olive oil, ½ t. lemon juice, ¼ t. salt, 1/8 t. pepper flakes and black pepper, and whisk to combine.  Pour dressing over kale and toss thoroughly to combine.  Let salad sit for 5 minutes, then serve topped with bread crumbs, additional cheese and a drizzle of oil.

Enjoy!
