What's Up in the Garden This Week with Sally Kendall: Kale!
Kale is
sooooo good for you.
For a quick dinner I cut up Italian sausage (5 or 6 links) into 1/2
inch slices and sauté it until done. Then I add a few cloves of
garlic chopped up. When the garlic is softened I add a huge amount
of chopped kale and toss until wilted. I then toss that with a
pasta (such as rigatoni, geminelli, or bowties). Yum! To add
another dimension, try adding a couple of teaspoonfuls of balsamic
vinegar after the kale has wilted.
How about Kale
Crunch where you bake to kale to a crisp. If the recipe was
not from Molly Katzen (of Moosewood fame) I would be highly skeptical,
but I think I will give it a try :-)
Bitter Greens with Sweet Onions and Sour Cherries - another recipe

It is often said that Argentina is second only to the US as the
