I took note of the other reviews the 2nd time making this. I recommend steaming the kale first set it aside and then proceed with the recipe. I never found a good use for kale and I enjoy this recipe but kale does taste better a bit more cooked than if stir frying raw.
While the flavors were incredible the texture of the Kale is not at its best when stir-fried. Next time I make this I will steam the Kale and stir fry the broccoli. Keep in mind: kale takes a while to wilt and the garlic will burn and taste nasty long before the kale is wilted via stir fry.
HOLY MOLY! This was TAS-TEE!!!!! And SO incredibly healthy! I left out the chile pepper and used fresh marinated sundried tomatoes which I got from an old-world Italian meat market.I also added feta cheese to the mix for that extra flavor/texture. WOW this was GOOD. Will definitely make again. And again. And again.
This was pretty good. I've never used kale in cooking before so it was a new taste for me. Definitely make sure that you have all the veggies chopped before you begin cooking because everything cooks quickly. I'm definitely going to make this again.
I got kale and broccoli in my weekly organic vegi pack and tried them in this recipe. The taste is unique but I do like it. Will definitely make again the next time I have broccoli and kale both at the same time.
The last time I ate kale was over 50 years ago. My mther grew it in her garden. I always keep broccoli on hand. My grocery store doesn't sell kale. I got it at the " Whole Foods " store. I used a very large pan and left the kale and broccoli in bite size chunks. Cooking time is a little longer. I used lots of slivered garlic and sun-dried tomatoes. Love both. We have a big lemon tree so I used the juice of a large lemon instead of limes. This is an adult vegetable dish I don't think that children would like it. I found it very very interesting and very tasty. I will definitely make this again
In the opinion of a first time kale eater this wasn't a bad dish. I actually prefer cooked kale over cooked spinach (although I love raw spinach) because the kale doesn't become so wilted and mushy. It's a pretty dish especially with the sun dried tomatoes. My only complaint -- kind of sour and I would cut back on the lime juice next time. I also like the suggestion of including feta cheese...maybe even instead of the lime juice. Easy to make! Kids wouldn't eat it though.
This was a lot better than I expected. It is always great to find a healthy dish that is also full of flavor. I think the tomatoes made this dish. This was my first time trying kale and I will definitely have it again in this recipe and others. After reading other's suggestions this is what I decided to do with the recipe and I loved it. I steamed the kale first and only use 1/2 of a lime. I grilled a marinated chicken breast and corsley chopped a few cashews. I topped the kale and broccoli dish with slices of the chicken and sprinkled the chopped cashews over the top. Yum!
This is a great combination of flavors. The lime gives it a nice bite without being too tart and the chile pepper provides just the right amount of heat without being overpowering. It's a beautiful dish with the bright red of the sundried tomatoes complementing the vivid greens. I made this as a main dish with the Cherry Tomato Salad as a side and everything went together nicely. I'd like to try this with red bell peppers.
