CAMPYLOBACTER: Anyone else had it?

[The Dogmother]

I had forgotten how much I love this recipe and how moreish it is until I saw some lovely tender curly kale on the North Aston Organics stall at Deddington Farmers' Market this morning.

 

Am a bit stuffed now

 

Tear the kale leaves into small pieces; I just pull them off the stalks and divide until crisp-sized.

 

Put them in a bowl and drizzle a tiny amount of olive oil on them; really just enough to coat the leaves when you toss them.

 

Spread the leaves out over a baking sheet, grind over some sea salt and roast in the oven for about 10 minutes until they are crisp. Allow to cool (or not!) and munch away.

Sounds good

Attic24 Lucy posted about this recently. I want to give them a go as they sound yum! Possibly nice with a bit of sugar so they'd be similar to crispy seaweed you get from the Chinese.

[The Dogmother]

Rosie likes them with sugar on.

By the way, this is also nice made with Savoy cabbage, but don't bother trying it with spinach.

I saw them there too- they looked delish!

Thanks for the recommendation DM- I'll give them a whirl

Karin, it tastes exactly like that crispy 'seaweed' (which is actually cabbage) just without the MSG.

Must remember to buy some when I am next out.

Sounds yummy, Clare! Will give it a go - what temp do you have the oven at!?

[The Dogmother]

Nothing specific, just fairly low, say 120deg.

I will have a go at this next time a large bag of kale appears in the veg box. I am sometimes at a bit of a loss as to what to do with it (apart from steam it).

[The Dogmother]

For me it's the only acceptable form of kale as I'm not keen on it any other way.

[jasperaliceuk]

So want to try these. Waitrose had no Kale today:(

Mine did so am just about to make some now

[The Dogmother]

Watch you don't let them burn

[Space Chick]

I am soooooo wanting this now, but have only today stuck a load of kale in a stew

 

It's the one thing we are currently getting lots of from the allotment

[soapdragon]

Sadly Thame market was totally kale free this morning - very surprised! Am now desperate to try this so will keep looking!

[chickencam]

The pigeons on the allotment ate my kale, we had quite a bit in the late autumn though. I love it's really rich taste, it does go cold on a plate too quickly, better in a sauce or gravy.

Sound lovely, will have to give it a try. The only way I have found is on pizza, goes lovely a crispy that way too. Crispy is definitely the way forward with kale!

You are right it does go cold quickly.... although it is fab in so many things.... we've had tons of kale from the allotment, so I've been putting it in risottos, in stews, in curries, in fish bakes as well as having as a veg in its own right with gravy or a sauce

 

In fact, for tea last night we had a smoked haddock risotto with kale in

 

Mentioned the crisps to OH... he's not keen on the idea

[The Dogmother]

Just make them and don't tell him what they are, Debs

[iar fach goch]

Yum! Thanks for the idea. Made these tonight. 4 out of 5 loved them. I preferred the sweet version, everyone else the salty. Will be making again very soon.

Tried these out earlier in the week-they were delicious. Think I'm going to cook some more tomorrow evening, as there's still some Kale in the fridge!
