The Dogmother Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 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.

bluekarin Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 By the way, this is also nice made with Savoy cabbage, but don't bother trying it with spinach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 Karin, it tastes exactly like that crispy 'seaweed' (which is actually cabbage) just without the MSG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soapdragon Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Sounds yummy, Clare! Will give it a go - what temp do you have the oven at!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 Nothing specific, just fairly low, say 120deg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 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). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 For me it's the only acceptable form of kale as I'm not keen on it any other way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Chick Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdragon Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Sadly Thame market was totally kale free this morning - very surprised! Am now desperate to try this so will keep looking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinsk Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love it's really rich taste, it does go cold on a plate too quickly, better in a sauce or gravy. 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iar fach goch Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
