I'm over kale

[Dagstag v 2.0]

I still like it. I almost always saute it, with vinegar (or white wine) and a dash of soy sauce to help it cook down.

I really want to try that Collard Greens recipe. I've never tried cooking them before and want to avoid making white people collard greens

You're veg, right? What, if anything, would you sub for the bacon? I know mushrooms add umami but that might be texturally weird.

I will say that the recipe as I've made it certainly does not taste like oppression, and should be fine without the meat / chicken broth.

And thank you for linking to that because it led me to another entry from her about how gross peach cobbler is, which I have adamantly declared many times in my life, so I'll be reading more of that blog.

I am of the firm opinion that peaches should never, ever, be cooked.

Not vegetarian, I just don't eat beef or pork.

I also don't really "get" what umami means.

Wonderful news! 

I am no longer veg, but DBF is flexitarian...especually the post-weekend adventure burger...

Usually he'll try a non-veg recipe but we never cook meat. I have found that toasted pecans often hit the spot for a bacon sub and there are great no-chicken broths out there.

DH's grandmother makes them with fatback.  Delicious.  But bacon does a fine job and is what my mother used.

One of her other favorites is hog jowl which she calls hog jaw.

OMG, a couple of years ago my BF bought hog jowl for something he was cooking, and put the chunk that was leftover into a freezer bag labeled "Face."

Dev - she loved to eat it at J&S Cafeteria!

CFL has never been a strict veg though, I don't think?

[diablita]

Would you believe I've never actually eaten there!

You aren't missing much - especially since you didn't eat meat!

Jello desserts!  Seven layer salads!  A meat and two veg (where mac and cheese is considered a veg)!

DH has fond memories of eating there with his grandparents and extended family.  I have been a few times, the last was when his grandfather was sick and wasn't eating enough - so whe he requested J&S, we all agreed!

[diablita]

Oh gotcha.  Yeah, not missing much.

You must try kale chips!

Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.

Remove the ribs from the kale and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces. Lay on a baking sheet and toss with the olive oil and salt. Bake until crisp, turning the leaves halfway through, about 20 minutes.

Kale chips are the best!

YES!

The best at what? Leaving dried green shards stuck in your teeth?

The best (and imo only palatable) use for kale.

i would much rather eat swiss chard than kale.  and arugula, spinach, etc. are delicious.  so, too, escarole. 

but i don't mind kale.

I thought of you as I gave a pile of kale the stink eye whilst I picked up rainbow chard at my local farmer's market.
