The Burger

As some may know we have been growing a spring crop of kale. It is I would say not a really well known vegetable. It is part of the cabbage family and can be used in loads of different ways. This week we gave away kale chip recipes at the farmers market. Kale is a very healthy vegetable so if you have not given it a try I would recommend that you look for it at your local farmers market. It is usually more readily available in the fall. Kale is also popular in mashed potatoes but on the 14th of June we gave it a whirl on burgers. What we did was to chop up some garlic and onion along with the kale in thin strips (and some olive oil). I put the onion and garlic in a the pan with the olive oil and cooked them. Once the onions and garlic are nicely cooked add the kale which will quickly become soft. Then you are ready to top your burger (of course home made with local beef). Over all I would say this gets 5 starts!!
