It is true, this has been a summer full of kale. I came home from my CSA and got to work. I shredded some cabbage, kohlrabi, and carrot to make an Asian style slaw while my husband used our new cast iron grill pan to make all the summer squash into a dressed room temperature salad. Then I tackled the kale. This can be served room temperature or cold. Perfect picnic food.
1 bunch kale, chiffoned
4 cloves garlic minced
1/4 c. spring onion, thinly sliced
1/3 cup feta, crumbled
Steam or boil the kale until it is tender, then drain completely, and add to a bowl with the garlic and onion, and toss. Add in feta. At this point you have a lot of options. In addition to squeezing a lemon over the dish and drizzling some olive oil, tossing in some chopped fresh herbs, and salt and pepper to taste, you can mix in one of a few other things depending on where you want to take the flavor profile, including:
Olives
Diced Apples
Chopped Pecans

Hi, Catherine. I came over to visit your blog after reading your comment on my travel blog. The China posts bring back fond memories of a trip we took almost twenty years ago. Interesting to think of how many people must have passed by Mao's body in the interim.
ReplyDeleteI admire your discipline in posting on such a regular basis.
I hope you will post more about the historic McCollister home. I would love to see pictures from "back in the day," as well as some of the historical background.
