How do I Prepare Curly Kale to eat
Cut the kale as you want to serve it, set it in a colander or steamer over a pot of boiling shallow water, cover and cook until the kale is tender (about 5 to 10 minutes).
Allow the kale to cool until you can handle it, then squeeze out as much water as you can. Serve steamed kale warm or at room temperature.
What is the healthiest way to prepare Kale
While raw kale may boast the highest nutrient content, the study found that steaming retained the most antioxidants and minerals, compared with other cooking methods
Why should you not eat too much Kale
The problem is not eating kale per serving, but eating so much of it that you may be giving yourself low-level poisoning of the toxic heavy metal thallium
Can you eat Kale like a Salad
Even better: the sturdy texture of the kale holds up well in a salad and provides an extra crunch when eating.
Whenever we make this salad, we can’t stop eating it! Here are the main steps to make this kale salad (or skip to the recipe):
Prep the kale: Destem and chop the curly kale fresh prepared.
How to Prep Kale
Ever wondered how to prep kale?
How to remove it from the stems, how to wash it, and how to store it?
Look no further, my friend.
Here’s your complete guide to prepping this super healthy leafy green, including tips for how to make it taste less bitter!
Kale is a ridiculously healthy green vegetable- in fact, it’s one of the nutrient dense foods on the planet
But it can be a bit intimidating to cook with, especially if you don’t know how to prep it!
A lot of people think kale is bitter and doesn’t taste good. I humbly beg to differ.
And if you follow some tricks and tips for preparing it the right way, you can remove lots of the bitterness and use it in all kinds of different recipes!
How to remove the stems from kale
There are two ways you can remove the stems. My favourite way is with a chef’s knife.
But if you’re a beginner cook and not as comfortable using a knife, a leaf stripper is a nifty tool that makes removing the stems so easy!
And you’ll need to treat curly kale differently than Tuscan kale.
How to cut stems off curly kale with a knife
- Fold the kale leaf in half and hold the leaves down with your non-dominant hand, leaving the stem exposed on the edge.
- Use your chef’s knife to slice the stem off where it meets the leaves.
- Find the hold in the leaf stripper that will fit the stem (you may need to trip a particularly thick part off the end first).
- Insert the stem and pull through the other end. Ta-da!
How to chop kale
I usually like to cut kale into small pieces, about 1/2″-1″ big.
This is perfect for salad, to add to soups, etc.
If you want to steam curly kale fresh prepared or sauté it, you may want bigger pieces, around 2″-4″.
Just fold it in half or stack a few leaves on top of each other and run your chef’s knife over it in both directions, until you get smaller pieces.
- Kale grown in colder weather is less bitter. Frost actually enhances its flavour. So, if you can get it in season, or if you can grow it yourself in colder weather (mine grows so easily here in Texas all through the winter!), it will taste much better.
- Cut the kale BEFORE washing it.
- You can give it a little rinse before but rinsing it off after cutting it removes more of the bitterness.
- Soak the chopped kale in ice water.
- The cold will help remove some of the bitterness, and this will also help deep clean the leaves (more on that in a sec). Note:
- This will also help perk the leaves up if they are a bit wilted, a trick that works with all leafy greens, celery, herbs, etc.!
- Serve the kale with something sweet.
- Pair it with a sweeter salad dressing and/or fruit in a salad. Cook it with bacon, which usually has added sugar in it.
- The sweetness will help balance out the bitter flavour.
