In light of the recent David and Goliath battle that the Eat More Kale dude is waging against fast food chicken giant Chick Fil-A, I thought it might be a good idea to post a few ways to cook kale. I hope that you’ll support kale in many ways.
Eat it as often as possible!

If I had to name one vegetable that is the all time best veggie, I would have to say it would be kale. It is easy to grow here in the northeast, it actually gets better tasting as the temperatures plummet. Although I’m not one to get suckered into terms like “superfood”, I’d have to say that kale is truly a superfood. Deeply green colored, this leafy is an exceptional source of chlorophyll, calcium, iron, and vitamins A and C.
There are many ways to enjoy kale. One simple way would be to toss it into your soup! Its the kind of green leafy that holds up nicely in warm liquids.
Another way is to steam it. Super easy and quick. I would recommend stripping the leaves from the stems first as the stems take longer to cook.
My youngest daughter, Mikey loves kale sauteed with carmelized onions. The slower and lower that you cook the onions, the sweeter they get. Toss the leaves of the kale in at the end.
Here’s the recipe that we use many times each week to get our kale fix:
Mikey Rubin’s Sauteed Kale & Onions
1 small onion, cut into thin slices
1 bunch kale
extra virgin olive oil
Heat a saute pan over medium low heat and add about 2 teaspoons olive oil. Add onion slices and saute slowly until onion is soft and translucent and just beginning to brown. This should take about 20 minutes. (Shorter if you put the heat up a little higher, but stir and watch carefully that the onion doesn’t brown.)
Wash the kale, cut off the stems and chop into small pieces. Tear the leaves into bite size pieces. Add the stems first in with the onions and cook an additional 5 minutes until beginning to soften. Add the leaves and mix well, cover and cook another 2 – 3 minutes , stirring occasionally, until the leaves have wilted and are bright green.
Happy kale eater
