Begin by steaming the kale for , or until it is completely soft. A simple way of steaming is to place a stainless steel colander in a large pan, with boiling water underneath. Steaming the kale will make sure it preserves all its nutrients. You’ll need quite a large pan, and a colander that fits at least 500g of kale (it shrinks after it has been steamed for a bit.) If you’re not able to steam the kale, boiling works as well, but try to use as little water as possible.
