Healthy Bright Green Kale Sauce

Kale as healthy winter vegetables increasingly in demand

20/12/2014

Kale enjoys a growing international popularity. But kale is an enrichment for the kitchen not only in terms of taste, but also from a health point of view. In addition to the classic curly kale preparation, here offer variations such as a bright green sauce, reports the news agency „dpa“.

Kale contains many carotenoids, flavonoids and phenolic acids, which according to the German Nutrition Society, for example, reduce cancer risk, strengthen the immune system and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. But not every palate tastes the classic German way of cooking. So in the US, where „Kale“ (English name of the kale) is currently celebrating a comeback in the restaurant scene, according to the announcement of „dpa“ various kale variations are offered.

Kale variations enrich the kitchen
For example, let the winter vegetables quickly conjure a bright green sauce by blanching kale, mixed with some water or broth and finely passed, quotes the news agency „dpa“ the chef from the restaurant Reinstoff in Berlin, Daniel Achilles. Here the kale sauce is a special detail of the menu that can be offered for example to fish, poultry or other meats. It is also possible with the bright green sauce to season risotto and at the same time to give it a striking color, reports the „dpa“ citing the chef. Furthermore, home cooks from the slightly creamier juice could, for example, create a pasta sauce, explains Daniel Achilles. When flavoring the sauce, there are no limits to the taste, but it tastes particularly good in the simple version with salt and pepper. (Fp)
