Slow Cooker Flowering Kale

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 bunches kale
1/2 large red onion -- chopped
2 cloves garlic -- minced
Salt and ground pepper to taste
1 Dash red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cups vegetable broth

Bring a pot of salted water to boiling and add kale. Boil for 3-6 minutes, just until wilted to reduce bitterness. Drain and cool. Tear leaves into bite-sized bits, being careful to remove the thickest part of the stem. Combine kale and other ingredients in the crock of your slow cooker. Cook on low for 4-6 hours or more, or cook on high for 2-3 hours or more. Longer cooking makes the kale more tender.

Serves 4

Flowering kale almost looks too pretty too eat. And, often, it is used ornamentally, to decorate salad bars or other food displays. But when it is available, usually around June, it worth trying out. Because this recipe goes into a slow cooker, it won't heat up the kitchen.
