This hardy, hearty winter green is a member of the cabbage family (along with cauliflower, brussels sprouts, cabbage, collard greens, and broccoli). Kale is king among dark, leafy green vegetables: Several different varieties are grown, and each one is a powerhouse of flavor and nutrition.
Kale’s bold, rich flavor, chewy texture, and peppery kick taste great with robust ingredients (think dried crushed red pepper, soy sauce, strong-flavored cheeses, Sherry wine vinegar, fish sauce, bacon, or pancetta).
Plus, kale is forgiving: It’s easy to cook it well, and almost impossible to overcook it.
