Lacinato Kale

Contributed by: Melinda

This outstanding kale is also called Tuscan Kale or Dinosaur Kale. It is a very ancient food and tends to be less bitter than other kale. I prefer this sautéed, but sometimes also just steam it in a skillet. It is also excellent added to soups, especially bean soup.

2 bunches lacinato kale, stems removed and sliced across in 1 inch strips
Olive oil
2-3 tbl water
Kosher Salt & Black Pepper

Heat a large sillet over medium heat and add oil
Add kale and toss to coat with oil
As the kale cooks, add water to keep from browning too soon
Cook until kale is wilted, but not overly soft

This kale doesn't have lots of water such as spinach or chard. I like a little browning, but be careful not to burn as this will happen quickly without the added moisture.

To steam in a skillet, add about 1/4 cup of water to start, heat covered on low until kale is tender. Taste for seasonings: salt, pepper and olive oil are perfect.
