Because curly kale is so versatile, you can use it in a variety of dishes. One of the keys to having sweet, flavorful curly kale is to blanch it before adding it to any dish. Blanching the leaves helps to pull out any bitterness or astringent attributes, which helps to make curly kale more palatable. Once lightly blanched, add curly kale to stir-fries with other vegetables, chicken, or tofu. Saute curly kale with ginger, garlic, and chilies, and top with oyster sauce for an Asian-inspired side dish. Kale chips are divine treats and easy to make. Wash the curly kale and air-dry. Cut the leaves from the stem and discard the tough stem. Roughly chop the leaves and toss with olive oil and Dr. Bragg's spices. Roast the leaves in an oven set at 400 F for about 20 minutes until the leaves become crispy. Let cool and enjoy.
