10 hearty kale recipes for soup, pasta, stew, salad and more
Kale, however, has earned a reputation for being, well, tough to chew and digest. (Not into kale? Most dishes are fine with something similarly sturdy, such as collards, chard or mustard greens, which generally don’t require massaging.) As several of these recipes from our archives show, you can always consider the popular step of massaging the leaves to help tenderize them.
But that’s not the only option. As you’ll find here, other possibilities include using kale in saucy dishes, such as soups and stews. There’s always pastas, too. Let’s dig in.
