    • Reviews

  • “This was amazing.I bought some kale produced locally and decided to make this.I did blanch the kale and found it easy to do.I just used my metal colander and put the colander in the kale in the hot water and then pulled out the colander and cooled it. Feta cheese was a nice foil for this vegetable but really all of the flavors together were wonderful.A definite do over for this healthy veggie.”

  • “I’m giving it 4 stars rather then 3 because I think I made some adjustments I shouldn’t have.I had made a kale recipe previously and scorched it because it didn’t have enough liquid, so I added more (too much).I also added some red beans like another reviewer suggested for the protein.Next time I will just make hopping john on the side.Love the nutrition and flavor of kale, This is a keeper, thanks.”

  • “I, like a few other reviewers, skipped the initial boil and blanch, because we like crunchy veggies. I otherwise made it as is, except to add a little less broth, and I added in some red beans for protein, served it over rice for a complete, healthy vegetarian meal. Thanks for suggesting!”

  • “Definitely a dish I would do again.”

  • “This was fabulous!I, too, added kale in step 6.I never bought, tasted or cooked with kale, so it was a treat on all levels.Will definitely be making this again.”

  • “I hate to be the lone voice of not such rave reviews. I just didn’t find this all that tasty. I agree that an increase in feta might have helped. Following the suggestion of others, I put the kale in raw at Step 6 and it cooked just fine. I just didn’t care for the taste of this dish.”

  • “This was amazing! I did what other reviewers suggested and just added the kale at step 6 to keep it from getting too limp. It worked perfectly. I love feta so I doubled it. The garlic and onions fuse with the flavor of the kale perfectly! Will definitely make again, thanks for sharing!”

  • “My first time with kale and what a pleasure.I didn’t blanch it first as we do not like soft vegetables here.I also doubled the feta as I was “scared” of the reaction of the non veggie eaters in my house – but it wasn’t necessary.I will definitely serve this again – thanks!!”

  • “While I found this to be very good, I thought it could use a bit of “tangy”–some freshly squeezed lemon juice perhaps.(I wish I had had some on hand so I could have tried it.)I steamed the kale rather than blanching it.I also added a handful (or two) of toasted pine nuts, which I thought was a nice addition.”

  • “Bergy…..true to most of anything you post, this one it right on target.Kale is a fave green of mine, and it’s “terribly” nutritious.I think it’s a shame that that with this recipe, like so many others ‘Zaar just can’t “nutrionalize” simple ingredients.But, you can get them from the product, and kinda deduce the appropriate nutrional values.Thanks for posting this, as it’s simple, easy to buy for, and truly upscale nutrion.”

  • “This is only the second time that I’ve used Kale. I’m trying to expand our green vegetables intake.I also added the uncooked Kale at step 6. I had some leftover so I frozethem and will see how they re-heat.”

  • “This was my first time to cook with kale and this recipe was a good one to start with. I think I undercooked it slightly, but it still tasted okay.I made this with Hopping John and cornbread for New Years supper. Thanks for sharing this…I’ll have to make greens more often!”

  • “I only had bleu chesse on hand but it still tasted great– my boys wouldn’t even attempt the green stuff so I had the chance to eat half of this myself! Thanks for an easy recipe, my first time making anything with kale”

  • “Yum! We bought a share in an organic farm which resulted in an abundance of veggies that I had never prepared, among them kale. This was a delicious way to use it. Even my 5-year-old daughter loved it. Thanks!”

  • “This was fabulous Bergy! I followed the recipe to the letter and certainly was not disappointed. It was so easy and fast to make as well. You can bet I will be making this often, low carb and healthy; you can’t go wrong with that. Thanks for sharing a new option for kale!”

  • “Delish!I almost left the onions out, glad I didn’t.The flavors blended wonderfully.”

  • “What a great idea for a different blend of flavors.I like my the heck cooked out of my greens, so I cooked them for a significantly longer period of time and pressed the excess liquid out of them in a colander.”

  • “This is fabulous!! Kale is such a nutritious and beautiful vegetable that I have tried many recipes to find one that is not only edible but delicious, and this is it!!I left out the broth as we prefer our greens dry rather than mushy.Highly recommended.”

  • “Fantastic.Used low fat feta cheese.The whole thing was tasty and it was a quick and easy side for tonight’s dinner.Thanks for sharing this recipe, we are always looking for yummy ways to prepare kale.”

  • “I’m not a fan of Kale – mostly because I have not found a way toprepare it that I like.I only buy it occassionally because it’s healthy.That’s all changed now…My hubby and I really, really liked this recipe!I followed it just as described.We served it with Salmon, mashed potatoes & butternut squash with fresh beets.This recipe is a keeper – thanks!!”
