So I thought what do I do, as I can be quite picky in enjoying all the dark leafy greens - so one day I came across a recipe for a shake with kale. I adjusted it a bit and have since been enjoying almost daily morning pineapple-kale shake/smoothies - I never thought I could like kale that much :) Hi Monica - oh I know, I know how healthy kale is but I have never eaten it until last year when I really learned how healthy it is.

But I use silverbeet (chard?) a lot - for similar dishes to the above. The couple of times I have managed to get my mitts on cavalo nero I haven't been able to go past ribollita. Lovely suggestions on how to use more greens. Kale is something rarely available here in Sydney - unless you manage to grab some at an organic farmers’ market.

I like the idea of keeping cooked greens on hand in the fridge---partly because it simplifies the grocery unpacking: Greens? Okay, cook them now. Take a look at this entry in Mark Bittman’s blog.

I have a batch waiting for me in my garden and will likely be harvesting it in the next day or two (last harvest of the season). Unfortunately it is hard to find in the markets here in Quebec. Thanks for the recipes! Cheers, Adam I LOVE kale. I have a batch waiting for me in my garden and will likely be harvesting it in the next day or two (last harvest of the season).
