I first made this recipe back in the 90's and I made it again last week for Thanksgiving after finding the recipe here online (I lost the cookbook). It is still a big hit, and I never tire of hearing "please pass the kale," "mmm, that's really good kale," "can I have some more kale, please?" at the kitchen table. Definitely an easy preparation and an enjoyable intro to kale if you're a first-timer. -
We are going to get a lot of kale this year through the CSA we joined...so I'm searching for interesting kale recipes. We tried this tonight--and we thought it was pretty good. Next time I would use a little less ginger--but the ginger I have currently is a little more potent than normal. Also, I used a little sprinkling of lemon juice on top instead of the lime juice because that is what I had on hand. We cooked our kale where it still had a little bit of crunch "bite" and wasn't mush. Overall--pretty good!

<p>My rating system: (I don't like giving bad reviews, so if I don't like it, I'll just not review it.) <br /><br />5 Stars OMG, this is one of the most amazing things I've ever eaten! I can't stop eating it, and I've eaten myself into a food coma. <br /><br />4 Stars The recipe is wonderful as is. I can't think of a single improvement and I will most likely make it again. <br /><br />3 Stars This needed a little *something*something*. I might make it again, but will add my own improvements if I do. <br /><br />I love to eat! And I love to cook. I tend to take over the kitchen when I get in there. Even the dog knows the command get outta my kitchen! LOL. Cooking for other people and trying new recipes or foods is FUN! I have a small (but growing quickly!!) cookbook collection and one of my favorite things to do is to read recipes and plan meals. Rachael Ray, Horn of the Moon and Moosewood are favorites of mine. <br /><br />We spend a lot of time outdoors camping, hiking and backpacking. Yup. I cook in the woods too! I've made deals with my hiking buddies... If they carry in my food, I'll cook for them. I recently published a backpacking cookbook.
