I added red peppers when I added the Kale. I also waited until the end to add the breadcrumbs.

Great recipe! The first time I made this recipe as is and it was perfect. This time, after I had de-ribbed the kale, I realised I was out of breadcrumbs so I made 2 small changes. First I added crushed red pepper to the garlic/onions & then I added 1 tbs butter to the kale in the last minute of cooking..Fantastic! You do not need to add water at all. Toss the kale around for a minute and it will wilt from the heat just fine every single time. I am not sure what a "bunch" of kale is because I pick it from the garden. If you have fresh the amount of kale to make enough to fill a standard veg-can (cooked) from the store would be enough to almost fill a grogery sack(raw).

Used this recipe my first time trying kale, and haven't switched away from it yet! A great way to get accustomed to the flavor of kale. Sometimes I also add a little soy sauce or some raisins to help counter the bitterness.

Your recipe was a revelation! First, because I assumed kale would taste bitter or cabbage-y. Not! Second, because I am not a big fan of garlic. However, I substituted a couple of crushed Caesar croutons for the breadcrumbs and it was Italian enough w/o the strong garlic flavor. My eye doctor told me I need more lutein to support macular health. And guess whta? Half a cup of kale has 10 mg of the stuff, more than any other veg.

This was really good and very easy! Followed directions exactly, except used about half of the bread crumbs (used italian bread crumbs). Served as a side dish with Brats and spicy mustard.

As written... I didn't care for the flavor. Added parmesan cheese, that helped. But I'll keep looking for a way to use kale.

I had never made kale before, but one of my girlfriend's had it in her garden. So I just got on your site and started searching. She had never made it before either, so we thougth we'd give it a try. Yummy! I read the reviews, and followed the advise of one who suggested removing the onion/garlic mixture after adding bread crumbs. I then added water and the chopped kale...cooked it for about 5-10 minutes until it was wilted. I then drained the water, and tossed the kale in with the garlick/onion mixture. I didn't use a full cup of bread crumbs either. Once tossed, I added some fresh parmesan shavings. My boyfriend who claimed he hated kale love it! Everyone was so suprised, and said this is restaurant style good! Thanks to for all the reviews and the recipe! Yum!
