So another new once in a while feature here on Eat in OC. How Do I Cook!
I convinced Mrs. DanGarion last night while we were doing grocery shopping that we should start expanding our vegetable comfort by exploring those vegetables at the store that we have never had. She agreed to the challenge which brought us our first contestant for How Do I Cook, Flowering Kale. I think the Mrs. picked it just because it is purple and she wanted to see if I would say yes, I called her bluff and accepted the challenge. So on Wednesday we plan to cook this bright purple colored leafy cabbage. (Interesting tidbit, Mrs. DanGarion doesn’t like cabbage, and specifically said I couldn’t choose any type of cabbage.) in my opinion flowering kale looks more like a flower arrangement than something I would eat, but I’m willing to try it.
So I now I implore you our faithful readers, How Do I Cook, Flowering Kale!?

Do a light sautee with onions, garlic, butter, white wine, salt & pepper. Just wilt it like a spinach and you're good to go.
Kale is a form of cabbage so you can cook it the same as cabbage or you can make a soup. Here is a healthy recipe for you and the Ms.4 boneless skinless chicken breasts1 cup fresh mushroom slices1/2 cup fresh chopped onion2 tbsp white wine1/4 tsp ground oregano, crushed (or 1 tsp fresh oregano)1 medium garlic clove, minced1/2 tsp black pepper2 cup kale, chopped, stemmed and washed2 tbsp light mayonnaise or regular mayonnaise1/2 cup Bread Crumbs, seasoned, grated, dryDirections1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and spray a shallow baking dish with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.2. Take the chicken and remove all visible fat then, using a meat mallet, pound the chicken so that it is 1/2 inch thick and set aside.3. Heat a skillet over medium high heat, add mushrooms, onion, wine, oregano, garlic and paper, cooking and stirring the mixture for about 5 minutes or until the onion has become softened.4. Add the kale to the mixture and cook and stir until the kale has become wilted.5. Take the kale mixture and evenly spread it over the flattened chicken breasts and roll the chicken up, securing it with toothpicks or metal skewers.6. Brush the chicken with mayonnaise and coat with breadcrumbs. Put the prepared chicken in the prepared baking dish seam side down.7. Bake for 25 minutes or until the chicken has become golden brown and the area near the center is no longer pink, then remove the toothpicks and serve.Enjoy
I think I'm doing this or making Crispy Kale.Tear into large pieces, toss in a bowl with a drizzle of olive oil and generous salt and pepper, bake in a single layer in a hottish oven on a baking sheet until it's crisp.
