I love kale. My boys love kale. Even my husband goes for it. Kale is a universally favorite vegetable in our family. And boy am I lucky since it’s a superfood. Given our collective kale obsession, I am always looking for more ways to cook kale, and this is one of my favorites.
Let’s not forget that kale is one of those”naturally gluten free” foods as my friend Shirley would say. So try it, you just might like it.

Sometimes I like to throw a few thinly sliced carrots into this dish to add a bit of color. Have you ever sautéd kale before? What other veggies or seasonings do you enjoy adding to your sautéed kale? Leave a comment and let us all know.

I always add roasted red peppers to the kale and garlic. The colors are so appetizing! I also add chicken broth and let the kale simmer to reduce the bitterness that Kale sometimes has.

The first time I tried Kale I sauteed it with garlic, onion, and red pepper. It was delicious.

We grow Tuscan and Russian Kales (and collards, broccoli, & Brussels sprouts). We love them all! I usually cook kale with chili flakes and lots of garlic. Yum! I also freeze cooked kale in serving sizes for the winter, when we especially enjoy it.

My favorite stir fry is very thin slices of beef or duck, red curry sauce, garlic, ginger, cabbage, snow peas, small hot red peppers, salt and pepper with the veg cooked just enough to still have a nice crunch. Oh my, I think I have to go shopping now! Thanks for the give away I never did figure out who won the other. I guess I just wasn’t looking in the right place?

All Hail Kale!! Kale is scrumptious, for sure, and I love to add a splash of carrot and ginger for color and zing, along with onions, garlic, sea salt, marjoram and nutmeg!

Hi Elana!
I’ve been reading your blog for a little while and have just received my first shipment of almond flour and coconut flour…looking forward to trying out some recipes.
Just saw your kale recipe and thought i’d add my 10 cents! It is really nice with toasted almonds too. I just had chorizo, toasted blanched whole almonds and sauteed kale. Really yummy!
Thanks for all your work, made my life so much easier.
