Below you'll see how to cook kale, turning it into traditional German dishes that are both hearty and healthy. Kale, aka Grünkohl, is a hearty side dish for many German dinners.
It has an earthy taste that goes great with other hearty dishes. It just needs to be cooked properly!
It's great if you buy it canned or jarred. It's so easy to prepare then. If you have fresh kale, check below how to prepare and cook it. If it's not done properly, kale has a tendency to be tough and bitter.
Since kale is such a nutritious and healthy vegetable, it's great to be able to cook it so the whole family will enjoy it.
Here, I've made Kale Mash: cooked kale mixed with mashed potatoes. Shown above, it's served alongside some fried eggs.
It's a super quick way to enjoy kale. I used canned kale, instant mashed potatoes and eggs. Dinner was ready in 10 minutes!!! And so, so wunderbar!
Or, if you have some leftover mashed potatoes, just heat your homemade, canned, or jarred kale, adding a bit extra liquid and stir in your leftover mashed potatoes. Heat over low heat until heated through and then add the butter, bacon, and re-season as necessary.
