Our garden is overflowing with kale, so I was searching for a way to use it and found this...and it was delicious! It wasn't beautiful, but so tasty, and I was surprised at how well it 'came together' to make a thicker sauce than I had expected, and a great way to use up 8 cups of kale! I'm passing this recipe on to a vegetarian friend, because she loves kale too, and we'll make it again! Served with BBQ steak and cornbread -- perfect side for the menu.05/29/07

Pretty good...I added a bit more hot sauce than what was called for.04/07/03
