Kale and more Kale and more Kale

I have gotten 3 farm share baskets so far. All have included Kale. Kale. This is something that most people think of as a garnish. It's sitting on the side of the plate looking all green and nice. Sometimes it has a lemon wedge nestled into it. Is it really food?
Kale is food. It is a great source of vitamin K, folic acid, potassium, it is a green leafy vegetable full of nutrients. A member of the cabbage family, it actually tastes good. If cooked.
Chomping on it raw as a garnish, no so good. But cooked, not so bad. A simple way to prepare it is with onions browned in olive oil, add chopped kale, cook another 5 minutes until soft and a simple and delicious side dish.
I'm thinking that the kale is going to keep coming, so I'd better find some more recipes. This evening I made a Kale Puttanesca. Kale has a strong taste so it can take the flavors of caper, garlic, anchovy and black olive. This came out nice. I made a few adjustments to lower the sodium content, but it is still a high sodium dish.
Due to the multiple likes and dislikes in my house as well as the gluten intolerance, the pastas are made seperately and the black olives were left on the side- I kept the anchovies a secret.
