Guest guest Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 I loved the rainbow chard...diced (very small) the stems, steamed those for two minutes, then added the leaves for another 3 minutes, tossed with vegan margarine, salt and pepper and it was delightful. It was so colorful and everyone thought I had put red pepper into it. It was lovely. I think the next time I will do the stems three minutes and then the leaves added for two minutes. I bet it would also be terrific with olive oil, garlic and some nuts. The chard I diced the stems again small, steamed them three minutes then added the chopped leaves (which I chiffonade) and cooked for three minutes. Margarine, salt and pepper. I wasn't as thrilled with collards as with the chard and kale. But it may be improved with garlic and nuts and I was even thinking with vegan parmesan sprinkled on top. The kale is the lacinato type and so wonderful...even when I forgot to rinse it and ate a tad bit of B12 with my kale...I chopped it stems and all and steam for three minutes, margarine, salt and pepper. The problem is that we are eating about $4 worth of it a day. I may be turning green shortly. I grew up in the PNW and don't recall seeing these greens here let alone eating them so I just never tried them, but I am so delighted. The collards make me feel like I am eating something the dinosaurs ate or huge fronds of some sort. linda " Whatever you do will be insignificant and it is very important that you do it.

Other than the standard garlic and onions treatment, with which every meal starts in my house, here are some more ideas: - liquid smoke - homemade tomato sauce And kale and chipotle are friends. -Erin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
