I posted about this tofu salad a few months ago. This was pretty similar - we had it on sandwiches with whole wheat toast, shredded carrots, pickles, lettuce and mustard. For the kale, I sauteed lots of garlic in olive oil with salt & pepper, then added a bunch of chopped kale, tossed it around for a bit, then added a couple tablespoons of veg. broth and covered and simmered for 5 minutes or so. Kale isn't my favorite thing in the world, but it's good for you and cooked this way it wasn't too bad. And we also had a salad that looked very much like the one from last night.

I was given some kale last week and did not konw what to do with it, I'm afraid. Thanks for the tip in case I get another windfall.
Sounds good Teddy...
Hi Sean! I'm never quite sure what to do with it either but here's another idea that worked out well.
I love kale! My favorite way is sauteing it with olive oil and garlic. Try the recipe for Garlicky Kale in Vegan with a Vengeance. I like to add a little water to the pan and cook until it's softer.
Thanks Kelly. I'll give that a try.
Hey, I had a similar sandwich for breakfast today! Yum...
Love the kale and dahl from your link... I just may have to make some.. it's been a while since I've enjoyed dahl..
Have you ever tried steaming kale leaves and rolling up fillings, like a cabbage roll casserole? It's delicious with middle eastern flavors and tahini sauce.
Hi Melody... I haven't tried the kale roll thing, but it sounds great - I'll have to keep that in mind.
I picked up my CSA vegetable share this evening and saw that there was "all-you-want" kale. Again. I like kale all right, but we've been having kale constantly for the past two months and it's getting hard to face it. Tonight, though, Susan (the farmer) had a jar of pesto she had made -- with kale! She said she just steamed about 10 big leaves of it with the stems removed, threw in a bit of basil and made pesto "the regular way." It was fantastic, so I took a big bag of kale and going to give it a try. Plus, you can freeze pesto.
That's a great idea Debbie - thanks!
