Seasoned Kale

The flex cook show: Episode 11
I think kale is a misunderstood vegetable. It is very easy to cook, and the health benefits are indisputable. Kale's slightly bitter taste mellows when sauteed. In this dish it is seasoned with cumin, garlic, and peppers, and the nuts impart a sweet taste.

Mustard greens are different than Kale which is a form of cabbage, green or purple, and the central leaves do not form a head. For this dish, I use green kale. I hope you give it a try and it is very easy to find in the grocery stores. Happy cooking!

Looks terrific. I grow my own kale. I suppose I can do this with Tuscan Kale...it looks a bit denser than the kale you're using.

[theflexcook]

@seamoremonster Go ahead and give it a try, just cook it a little longer as it is more dense. Let me know how it turns out..

It looks good, but I really hate the taste and smell of garlic (just can never get passed that). I wonder if it would still be good leaving out the garlic.

[theflexcook]

@ladybluluv

You could leave out the garlic. Instead, you can use nuts like peanuts, walnuts, pine nuts, or your preferred nut. Hope this helps!

Not sure about cooking the kale so long, most nutrients are lost this way

[theflexcook]

@jenishak some nutrients are lost but not all; also by consuming more volume you get fiber and nutritional benefits. You can cook less but then the kale is bitter and you may be less likely to eat it.

Wondeful video. I am going to make this for the first time tonight :) I am trying SO hard to get my wife to like greens as we have been eating way too much processed garbage and we are ready to make a change for the better

Bindu what is kale? is that green mustard

[haymha]

I will definitly try it. I usually look at it in the grocery, but I always chose to pick the mustard green.

Very well done. Thank you for sharing.

It's a little irritating to see these inferences in the comments that if you don't cook something their way then it's not done right. Bull. Some people like their kale barely cooked & bright, more power to them, I don't. I'm going to cook my kale however the heck I want to, and I like mine soft. Thanks to the OP, though, for posting the seasoning ideas!

[Wivanunu]

@jenishak I cook my kale for a very short period of time...so it's still bright green, crisp and a bit chewy. This looks good too..... I crave kale!

[seamoremonster]

@theflexcook Thanks for your reply. Will let know how it worked out.
