Description/Taste
Russian Red Kale is thick, chewy and juicy. Its purple blushed and tipped gray-green leaves are lobed like an oak leaf with ruby red veins.
Applications
No amount of cooking will soften the stems so use only the leaves. A meaty green seeks meaty complex flavors such as grilled pork, pancetta, sausage, garlic chiles and caraway. Cook in rich olive or nut oils, butter or sesame oil.
Geography/History
Until the end of the Middle Ages, kale was one of the most common green vegetables in all of Europe.
