Why does it seem like kale is ALWAYS in season in southern California!?! My CSA box was overloaded with kale all through the fall and now we are stilling getting it since the weather has turned more spring-like. Any kale I don't consume after a week in the fridge, I steam really quickly and freeze for later use. I do hope that I can use it later when we find ourselves sans kale, otherwise one day I will open the freezer to find it filled with nothing but this dark leafy green. I have received green kale, purple kale, and dinosaur kale but there are many other varieties (see pictures on RecipeTips).
Desperate for a new kale recipe I tried the Chickpea Hot Pot Recipe from 101 Cookbooks. I just happen to have all the ingredients in my fridge and entire soup came together in about 30 minutes. Note, I used an entire head of cauliflower and kale (see ingredient list below). The flavor is simple and the broth thick. It reheats beautifully and the entire pot was got in just 2 days.
