All hail kale. We've got a lot of love for this leafy green. Here are a few of our favourite ways to use it.
Sep 26, 2023 4:32amAll hail kale. Whether it's slow-braised, tossed in a pan, or crisped up in the oven, the leafy green adds an extra level of flavour to many recipes.
Featuring simple side dish recipes like our sautéed Brussels sprouts with curly kale and chestnuts, kale pasta and salad recipes like our ultra-green chopped salad and warming soup recipes, like our one pot minestrone verde that takes under 30 minutes to make, our collection of kale recipes go above and beyond.
We also have impressive main dish ideas like our slow-braised chickpeas with cavelo nero, our show-stopping torta pasqualina and vermentino, and our delicious conchiglione with ragù bianco, anchovies and wilted kale. Plus our easy cheddar and kale pull-apart recipe, primed for snacking and sharing. Serve some of these recipes with an extra drizzle of olive oil.
Here are some of our favourite kale recipes that you simply must try.
