I'd love readers to send in their favorite kale recipes. This is one of my favorite vegetables as well, and I usually wind up cooking it pretty much the same way every time. Keri, I agree.

It was my first time gardening, so I had no idea how much that would yield me for the season(s). We ate kale & eggs almost every day, made kale pesto, kale & white bean soup, kale & carrots, kale & potatoes, kale, kale, kale. This year I planted only 2 plants, but my CSA also offers kale. Now I'm blanching and freezing it for winter. I love the stuff and simply can't believe how productive and hardy it is. I'd love to hear more ways to prepare kale as it is a never-ending supply almost year-round. Last year I planted six kale plants.

This kale would work in all kinds of soups or stews. I'm also thinking of the classic Portuguese kale soup. They use a different type of kale. And we wouldn't be able to eat the potatoes. Still, this is the perfect kale for that type of treatment, so much flavor. Celia, love the idea of ribollita. This kale would work in all kinds of soups or stews.

This recipe sounds delicious, looking forward to your bigger plans. Have you tried Ribollita?
