Here's my adaptation of a Dutch recipe (2 portions):

Chop 300gr curly kale finely.
Peel the same amount of floury potatoes.
Chop an onion and fry gently in a bit of butter
Add two crushed cloves of garlic, fry a bit more (but not until brown)
Add the kale and a small cup of water.
Simmer with a lid on for the time it takes to boil the
potatoes...........

Fry some bits of streaky bacon until crispy.

Mash the potatoes
Strain any water from the kale (you can use this to add to some
instant gravy if desired)
Mix the potatoes, kale and bacon bits together.
Add salt & pepper to taste.
You may want to add a bit of bitter or top of the milk to make it
creamy.

Serve with a pork chop, a nice sausage or whatever you fancy :~))

We often eat it raw, shredded fine and tossed in a little French
dressing with a tiny shake of sea-salt on it. We use fresh picked small
leaves for that with the midrib cut out and it is really delicious.

shred it and mix it with not much cream cheese and a bit of black
pepper, then wrap in puff pastry and bake: aim for well-stuffed little
triangles (about 75mm on each side) Eat hot or cold.

Put a layer between the meat and the topping in a shepherd's pie (I
use very fat-free meat, so it won't drown in gravy if you do this).

Stir fry it, it works well with most greens, and is about the only way I
have been known to eat Brussels sprouts..
