Kale!

Making kale chips on the Grilla!

[Skip]

Looks good CandySueQ . I just saw some plants at a Greenhouse this week. I was tempted to get a plant. There's not a lot of Kale Lovers here but in reality it's just a green to mix with other greens IMO.

[CandySueQ]

Seeds are much cheaper, but it’s a cold season veggie. My growing kale has gone to flower so it’s about done. This is left over from last weekend’s contest garnish. I seasoned it with extra virgin olive oil and chili lime seasoning. It tastes good!

I'm a big fan of green kale chips. Sounds like the Grilla is the ideal "tool" for this. Lookin' good!

[das85]

That's an awesome idea. What temp are you using?

[CandySueQ]

Started at 350, when the kale was a large pile on the grill mat. Put it in the cooker then turned cooker on. Backed temp to 250 after kale wilted (time of photo above), then let it dry on out. The smoke adds great flavor to the chips!

Awesome - will be giving this a shot - thanks for sharing. Interesting that you loaded them before preheating.. Do you do that with meat too?

(Curious if there's a technique to learn, or if it just happened to be convenient this time!)

das85 i do this with meat sometimes to up the smoke kick that can be missing from pellet cooks. Usually ill turn the cooker on, go get the meat that has dry brined in the fridge, throw rub on it if not there already and then stick it in.

The kale, you say...

If Brussels sprouts are the official vegetable of hell, then kale must be the official vegetable of purgatory. The true Devil's Lettuce!

Funny you'd think I'd be the last guy to eat kale but I don't mind a good kale salad.

[DavidNorcross]

Big fan of kale. Have not done the chips yet, but I am sure they are good.

[captainlee]

I like the taste, my body says no. Just another thing on my can't eat list.

Anthony Bourdain said something like kale is misunderstood because most people haven’t had it in stew. I agree

[CandySueQ]

Dinosaur Kale and Cannelli bean soup with tiny pasta and parmesan cheese rinds, ham chunks if you've got ham. Hard to beat!

[Murdy]

Yeah -- I like Kale cooked into stews and soups. We had a Rachel Ray recipe for riboletta (Italian stale bread soup) that had Kale in it that was fantastic.

I'm kinda fond of Fritos...especially covered in chili, cheese, onions and jalapenos.

I like my kale with a silent "K". 🍺🍺🍺

Okay, I apparently need new glasses or a better monitor than this laptop has. Didn't notice that the exclamation mark. Thought it was an l. Was wondering why CandySueQ was posting about Superman. Imagine my surprise.

[rlozinak]

Not for me!

I like kale. Including kale chips, but I don't make them. Because the couple times I did, I put in enough work to cook a meal for 5, and then had a small snack for 1 that was tasty but so unsatisfying that I needed a snack.

I use Kale in a soup, light broth, spicy sausage, tortellini, and fire roasted diced tomato...super easy super good

The chips look like a much better use !
