Because kale is awesome. =)

It was a bit of a whim and I wasn’t sure I would like the combo, but the fennel added a nice crunch and the sweetness was good with the garlic.

Normally I do, too, but I was too lazy to cut up a lemon and I had an open bottle of wine. Lemon juice would work, too, I just think it needs a little acid to kick up the flavor.

Thanks for stopping by!

I love kale. I LOVE LOVE LOVE it! I have never tried it with fennel though, always open to trying new things.

This looks delicious! I typically make kale with garlic & lemon juice but I love the idea of adding fennel to the mix. Am definitely making this in the coming week

Glad to hear it’s not just me. It’s always disappointing when something delicious looks like a bowl of gruel. Thinking on it more, I’m more likely to look for inspiration for easy dishes like this anyway. So often I search for recipes only to find some complex thing when I just want a quick lunch, so maybe it will be useful for someone. =)

Thank you! The fennel flavor is really subtle since the kale has enough body and the garlic is… well… garlic. Which I love.

I have the exact same problem with blogging about meals. I don’t always measure, I don’t always take pictures, and I don’t always love the results.

This looks great though! I love kale, and I need to try fennel again.
