Balsamic Butternut Squash with Kale

I love butternut squash, but kale, not so much. I know it's good for me, but I need help. This recipe is a good way to get some kale into your family's diet. It is a colorful dish, and the butternut really helps the kale. My only deviation was to omit the last bit of balsamic. I don't feel the recipe suffered with this small change. I wasn't too happy about two prep dishes and a serving dish, since I like to streamline during the week. I'm glad I tried the recipe, and this was a change from our usual fare. Thanks for the idea.

To save time and have fewer dishes, I cooked the squash in the skillet with a bit of broth, covered for 15 minutes. Then I continued with the rest of the recipe. I served this as a layered pasta bowl, with angel hair pasta in the bottom, then the butternut/kale mixture, and topped with shrimp that had been sauteed in butter and garlic. Yum!

I prepared all ingredients except the Kale ahead of time, thenwhile wilting the Kale, heated everything else up with it. worked very well and tasted delish!

Great recipe. I left out the brown sugar

Even better cold the next day!

excellent flavor!! going to be a go to dish!!

Great way to choke down kale. I simplified it by sautéing the squash and onion in 1tlbsp. of oil just until the onion were translucent, then I added the balsamic and broth, covered it and simmered it until the squash was easily penetrated with a toothpick. Then I added the kale covered and simmered about five minutes. If you want the kale softer, just simmer it longer, but too long and the squash gets too soft.

This recipe was pretty good. I like both kale and squash, and its obviously pretty healthy. I served it with some couscous.

This was very good, but my squash turned out a bit mushy.

My husband is a true kale lover, so this was a hit. Textures and flavors were fine. I'd only make it for kale fans, though.

Great recipe for kale...will definitely use this again!!!

Next time I will use baby kale and cook until tender before using.

Even better than I expected! This is delicious exactly as written.

Love it! I didn't have 6 oz of kale. I'm assuming its 6 ounces by weight and not volume because the recipes didn't specify. Tastes so good! I've been eating small amounts every day. I'm being careful because I think kale could be a little overwhelming to my digestive tract. I would prefer to gobble it all up.

loved this recipe! could use it as a side or a main dish

Delicious ! Made just as written.

I doubled the recipe to take to a potluck dinner party. It was a hit. I will definitely make again.

I made it last night. A double batch because my ingredients were just the right weights. We had friends over for dinner I heard from 3 of the 5 they don’t like kale. Funny how much they ate of it. So I’d say it’s a good recipe to use on non kale eaters. I personally think I’d enjoy it with almost any meal, or even as a main course. I did not change anything as I usually follow a recipe and maybe alter later. This needs no altering. ????????????????
