Tasty and quick using frozen kale I prepared this using frozen chopped kale. I cooked the kale in the microwave for 4 minutes stirred and added the apple before cooking another 3 minutes. I used roasted garlic whole grain mustard (another eating well recipe) in place of the mustard in the recipe. This was delicious and I will make it again. I reheated leftovers with a bit of cooked bulgar--yummy all mixed together. Pros: Highly nutritious; easy; reheats well Cons: Color not beautiful
My family loves kale. This was a delicious recipe but I think I prefer more savory recipes for kale than this sweeter one. It would be awesome with pork though.
Waste of two good apples I love cooked apples but didn't like the way these tasted. Odd flavor. Too pungent I guess. Pros: Felt like it was really healthy Cons: Flavor was just not what I liked
We really enjoyed it with pork. I would probably cut the amounts of mustard and brown sugar next time to see if that lightens the sweet-sour flavor but really a nice use of kale!
ok not great I also had extra kale and decided to try this recipe since we like sweet and sour. It was ok but wouldn't make again unless I find a good recipe for kale and had some leftover kale. I think I cut the apple too thin since they were mush in the 8 minutes. Pros: healthy
Perfect way to use extra kale I had half a pound of fresh kale leftover from some tomato and kale soup so I thought I'd use it up. I halved the recipe and used a small granny smith and it came out perfectly! I used horseradish mustard because that's what I had but it pairs well with the strong cider vinegar. I grew up eating kale cooked with cider vinegar sugar and salt so maybe I liked this because I knew how it would taste? The apple did a great job of sweetening and tenderizing the kale leaves. I will def. whip this up again since it took one pot a knife and 10 minutes. Pros: easy quick healthy cheap
Thanks for Sharing! Been looking for this recipe! My husband hates kale but now that I've found this recipe again I might be able to sway him to the kale side! I found this recipe back in 2005 in the Eating Well magazine but lost it and haven't been able to find it until today! I can't wait to try this again. Cooking the kale makes it easier and milder and the mustard and apple flavoring really compliment the kale. I might try to add some watercress to give it an extra punch. Pros: easy quick flavorful Cons:... none
Make sure to cook the kale more than enough. I did not enjoy the sweet and sour flavor of this dish. Sorry it seems so healthy!
