You can use this Tuscan kale directly from the package. For a quick side, sauté it in a pan with olive oil, garlic, and a pinch of salt until tender. It can also be added to simmering soups and stews during the last 10-15 minutes of cooking to wilt and soften. For a raw application, gently massage the leaves with a little dressing to tenderize them before adding to a salad. It can also be blended into smoothies for an extra boost of greens.
