Our best kale recipes are a celebration of leafy greens. Add the heart-healthy vegetable to everything from crunchy salads to soothing stews to vibrant cocktails.
Kale can be polarizing. Some sneak the antioxidant- and nutrient-rich leafy greens into everything from salads and smoothies to skincare. Others find the cruciferous vegetable overly bitter, too tough, a health food cliché. I think the haters should give kale another chance.
Beautiful lacinato kale is a special treat: Nutty, earthy, and slightly sweet, this variety—also known as Tuscan, black, or dinosaur kale or cavolo nero—has comparatively thin leaves, making it perfect for raw preparations. Curly kale is heartier, with a bit more chew; it lends itself well to a little extra time on the stove, turning tender and silky while still holding its shape in slow-simmered soups and stews.
Kale is technically “in-season” in the spring and fall, though it is cold-hardy and can be easily found at farmers markets and grocery stores throughout the year. To help fresh kale last in the fridge, a bit of light prep is in order when you’re unpacking your groceries: Wash and dry the greens well in a, then strip the leaves from the stems. Chop the stems crosswise and store in an airtight container, then wrap the leaves loosely in a dry tea towel and slip the bunch into a plastic bag.
