Tasty noms!
Nov. 3rd, 2014 01:33 pmMind you, I'm craving crappy chocolate like crazy, being not far from Halloween. But this morning I made use of our enthusiastic kale plants to make a kale salad that _wasn't_ unpleasantly textured.
See, it occurred to me that kale probably gets denatured by lemon juice just like meats do, so I asked google if this was true, and came up with the first recipe on this page: http://www.thepauperedchef.com/article/three-more-interesting-ways-cook-kale.
Adjusted it a bit to account for things we actually had (roasted, salted pepitas instead of pine nuts, and just lemon juice without zest), and other than possibly using too much lemon juice, I think it turned out nicely.
