2013 the year of Kale

It was really hard to avoid Kale this year. It seemed to be everywhere. It appears in recipes and packaged salad mixes. I even found a Kale salad mix at Costco … But in their hurry to get a product out it was chopped stems and all!

Kale is a relative of cabbage so one would expect it in various stews… Like a Swedish Lamb Stew.

Hopefully, chefs will find something less of a stretch to do with Kale in 2014.
