I'm eating kale every day, prepared with different recipes. But almost all of the recipes I've seen only use the leaves. I wanted to eat the hard stems somehow, so I tried to boil them. They turned out very well, without any bitterness.

When you make a kale recipe which doesn't use the stems, keep them for this recipe. Boil them to remove their bitterness and soften them. I used smooth peanut butter this time, but you can also use crunchy peanut butter if you want some texture. For about 1 serving. Recipe by Kazeno tanino tepa

Steps

1

Separate the kale leaves from the stems, and cut into bite-sized pieces.
2

Cut the kale stems into pieces about 3 cm long.
3

Boil enough water to cook the kale. Add about 1 teapoon of salt once boiled, and cook the kale stems first for about 15 minutes.
4

Check the softness of the stems. If they're soft and sweet, add the leaves. Cook for another 2 minutes.
5

Meanwhile, mix the ★ ingredients. You can also use sugar or agave nectar for sweetness instead of maple syrup.
6

Drain the kale in a colander and let it cool a little bit. While it is still warm, add the mixed ★ sauce and stir to coat the kale.

I used unsweetened peanut butter.
