Three Exciting Ways To Cook With Kale

Blend it 

Blending kale may seem like quite a strange option, but it can be used to create delicious smoothies (our Mango + Greens smoothie is a good example), pasta sauces, and soups. Our Parsnip and kale soup with parsnip chips makes for a souper green (sorry) and satisfying lunch, and is packed full of kale for a simple and healthy meal that’s creamy and nourishing. Best for rainy spring days. 

Bake it

Whether you put it in the oven with some seasoning to let it crisp up (kale chips, anyone?) or you add it in a traybake for an extra hit of green, baking it is another great way to yield delish results from kale. Our vegan kale and leek bake is hearty and comforting, with the kale giving the dish an earthy flavour and texture that pairs perfectly with the creamy and buttery sauce and a crunchy breadcrumb topping. Serve with a simple green salad for a delicious mid-week dinner. 

Fry it

Spring greens work amazingly well in stir-fries and kale is definitely no exception. It holds flavour really well when fried with your favourite aromatics, and crisps up nicely in the process, making it ideal for your favourite East-Asian inspired dishes (it can also mimic seaweed well). Our crispy fried rice recipe utilises this for a simple but delectable fried rice that is packed with greens as well as flavour. Sesame-based sauces and seasonings are a dream with kale, so this one is definitely a great recipe to have on hand when you want something easy to make but deeply satisfying.
