I have never had kale as a main side dish before. I usually just add it to soups and such. This was delicious! A fabulous winter veggi recipe. I just added a drizzle of water to help it stir fry better.

It was tasty, but a little chewy. Not sure if I cooked it too long or not long enough. Taste was even better heated up the next day!

Scaled this down by a third since I only had one bunch of kale. I used 3 roasted garlic cloves. Definitely cook the bread crumbs, put aside and then cook the kale.Remember to keep the kale moving so it actually gets stir-fried instead of steamed. Add breadcrumbs back after kale is cooked. I did give it a sprinkle of s&p. Fresh Parmesan would be good.

This stuff is awesome! I have made it several times this summer. I would definitely recommend moving the cooked onion/breadcrumb mixture to a separate plate and wilt the kale without it in the pan. I add about a cup of chicken stock to the pan with the kale to help often it up a bit. Add the breadcrumb mixture just before serving that way it won't be soggy. Delicious.

This was okay but somewhat chewy the flavor would be ok if the kale was a little less chewy. I don't know how to improve the recipe... maybe some kind of precooking for the kale?

I like kale and I like my veggies very firm, but this was a chewy mess. There are way too many bread crumbs which get soggy, even if added on top. The kale is a bit bitter. After much doctoring up (kosher salt, fresh ground pepper and balsamic vinegar I was left with something edible.

I followed the recipe until after I added the kale, the breadcrumbs started to stick. I used a little chicken stock which might have hurt the taste, because in the end it was not good. I love kale but I don't even think I'll have more than one serving of this version.

For kale--this is the best. I was a little hesitant about this recipe but because kale is so good for you I wanted to try it. This is a keeper and I will be making it on a regular basis. I used one large bunch of kale and it made a lot. Thanks for sharing.

What a great way to eat kale! We were a little unsure of how to gobble up our kale, but this did the trick. Saute-ing it alone would probably be fine, but adding the bread crumbs gave it great flavor and crunch.

I don't think I have ever prepared Kale. I'd give the recipe a 5 star but it's just to simple I guess.. I used some leeks I had rather than onion.. sauted them with garlic, added the kale and a little veg broth.. not that much. Perhaps a lot of water still in the leaks from their wash. I'd cut most of the kale leaves from the center stems. I didn't cook them that long, not to a total wilt. Added some lemon juice and topped the served portions with grate Romano cheese. Like to have had some nutmeg. Was very tasty and will def. make again and again now that I know kale can taste great!

My first time having kale---I wanted to try it for its healthy properties. I liked this recipe because it didn't add a bunch of unhealthy ingredients to counteract how good for you the kale is. I removed the onion and garlic and breadcrumbs when I was done sauteeing like others suggested. Because most of the oil was also gone by that point, I used a whole can of chicken broth to help wilt my huge heap of kale. I added the broth a little at a time while the kale was wilting and it was perfect. At the end I drained the kale from the broth and tossed it with the onion mixture. Everyone really liked this. What a neat concept. I would have never been able to come up with this on my own. I will use this again. Thanks!

I made this first with fresh kale and then again with kale I had already simmered. To me, kale just needs a bit more cooking so I liked it much better that way. Thanks for the recipe.

This recipe was great. This was my first time eating and cooking kale. A friend of mine brought some over the other night. I was pleasantly surprised with the taste and texture of this recipe. I followed it exactly. The only thing I would do differently next time is to steam the kale first in some veggie broth. The bread crumb mixture didn't want to stick to the kale too much so I added a little more olive oil. Great way to get in your vitamins!

I'd give this recipe 10 stars if I could. As per other reviewers, I steamed the kale in organic chicken broth before adding it to the onion-bread crumb mixture, and it was perfect! This is a fabulous way to eat good-for-you greens -- extremely delicious! I've tried it now with beet greens and with spinach and it's nothing short of delicious! I'd also highly recommend it mixed with spaghetti and tomato sauce. It's amazing! The tomato sauce lifts the onion-garlic-bread crumb mixture to new heights, and the spaghetti makes this side dish a main dish delight. YUM.
