Week one of our CSA included some purple kale, a vegetable I've actually never used before.
Of course I made chips from them. Kale Chips are probably one of the most popular seasonal recipes around, so it seemed a good place to start.
I didn't take any pictures of those chips, however, as they were mostly overdone (and frankly, they aren't very photogenic.) The recipe I followed said 20-25 minutes in the oven, but after 15 minutes, I felt they were very overdone. If I were to make them again, I'd check them after 10 minutes.
Since I only used half the kale for the chips, I had some left over to use with another meal.

How about on pizza?
After a chop, I gave these a quick saute with some butter and garlic scapes, just enough to soften everything together. A little dough, given a quick prebake on the BBQ, tomato sauce, sausage crumbles, roasted red and yellow peppers, kale and cheese, then back onto the bbq for a few minutes.
This is what my kids though of kale.

Which was actually fine by me - I scooped up this kale and added it to my pizza.
