Kale (part 2)

I've been experimenting further with kale (there's soo much of it in the garden--I feel it's my obligation to use it, somehow). My aunt informed my mom on the phone that she's obsessed with this new kale chips recipe. It sounds a little wild but I was just out at the dehydrator and I have to say, these are pretty good. So, if you're in the mood for kale...you can try this one out:

Ingredients:
Several bunches of kale (I filled a large bowl--not sure how much it was)
1/2 c. walnuts
1/2 c. cashews
1 clove garlic
1/2 - 1 c. water
1 tsp. lemon
2 Tb. olive oil

Blend everything but kale together. Pour over kale (torn into bits). Place in dehydrator for four hours, or oven on low heat.

The texture of toasted kale really is nice. It has a strong flavor but the "dressing" covers it up pretty well. All in all, I'll claim this experiment as "successful." :)

  1. Today's recipe-experiment. I also made zucchini bread today. I didn't put up the fig pizza. I don't think there was a recipe for that one--it was just figs and feta cheese and a bit of thyme sauteed with onion on the crust, baked at 450 for fifteen or twenty minutes. The crust was delicious--half whole wheat, plus oil and salt and yeast (pretty standard). We grilled the leftovers today and that was even better. I'd definitely make the crust thinner next time.
