On Thursday we got a whole load of curly kale in our veggie box. And I really do mean huge quantities of the stuff. It was a little daunting. I googled for recipes and came up with a curly kale and potato risotto. As I’m a big fan of risotto I decided to give it a go. Phi, being the gallant kind of guy he is, came along for the ride.<\/p>\n

Tonight, as we discussed a variety of topics in our tiny kitchen, the dish came together and while perhaps being a little odd to contemplate, happily cooked as any risotto does. Yes, that was a lot of starch but the potatoes were well matched with the rice. The kale was … strange. Not awful but then not good either. (And I only added half the listed amount!) I suspect other green veggies, spinach perhaps, might be a more suitable ingredient for risotto.<\/p>\n

A great experiment but not a successful recipe. We continue to search for the ultimate kale recipe that tastes like something we’d want to eat. <\/p>\n
