About the end of April I seeded a package of kale into a big pot for on the patio. Today I harvested a good amount of lovely, small leaves. How did we want to use this kale?
I looked in my few cookbooks but didn't find a recipe that appealed, so I made up my own version. In a 12" teflon frying pan I put about a teaspoon of Sesame oil and a good hunk of butter. When it was melted and hot I added 2 cloves of garlic crushed and about 1/4 cup of chopped onion. I shredded a large carrot in the Cusinart and added that. When that had sautéed for a bit I added the washed and stemmed kale. Add a good shake of "Vegetable Seasonings" and some raisins. Sauté until the kale is wilted and serve. It was delicious! I'll do that again some time.
Now I wish I had taken pictures of the process, but maybe next time the kale is ready to be cut I can remember.
Just got back from a week in Fort St. John, B.C., a visit to our younger daughter's family that included our grandson's grade 12 graduation. He plans to take his first year of college there and then transfer somewhere that has a good accounting program. We had a very good time with them, in spite of almost continuous rain, low temperatures and dark skies. I flew there and back with WestJet for just under $300, flights of just 1-1/2 hours--SO much easier that a 10 hour drive!
