What the Fuck Do You Do With Kale?

I asked that very question to myself several days ago as I perusing the produce section at my local grocery store. They had large bags of pre-washed kale on sale buy one get one free. So I said what the heck. I've always wanted to dabble with kale, since it is one of the most nutrient dense foods that I know of. Of course, I've never really cooked with it so I was at loss as to what I would use it for. I followed the directions on the package, cooking it with tomatoes and Italian seasoning. It was perhaps the most grotesque food stuff, I've ever had the displeasure of dining on. I forced myself to eat it....."uh vitmains....minerals...garble garble...come on keep it down".

So tonight I decided to make a soup. It actually turned out pretty good. Here's what I did:

Ingredients:
1 onion
4 cloves of garlic
8 cups of vegetable stock
1 cup brown lentils
1/2 cup red lentils (no reason other than I didn't want these to go to waste)
chopped carrot and celery (1 or 2 of each)
Shit ton of kale...like a lb. ....seriously
Turmeric
Cumin
Paprika
Pepper

1. First, I sauteed the onion and garlic in a little olive oil till the got nice and translucent.
2. Next, I added the spices to the cooking onions and garlic. I just eye-balled it.
3. After letting the cooking onions and garlic absorb the spices, I added the lentils, stock, veggies, and kale. It will look like there is too much kale for the liquid, but in no time the kale will magically shrink.
4. Bring it to a boil and then simmer for about a hour. Kale seems to take forever to cook...er unless tough greens are your bag.
5. Add all the salt and pepper you wish

Done. Pretty tasty if I do say so myself. I'll probably be eating this the rest of the week.

2 days later and it tastes even better!
