Reviews
I have not yet tried this recipe but plan to soon! I think the issue is Kale is bitter and tough. Try using your favorite leafy greens with this recipe, and see how it turns out if you do not prefer the flavor or texture of kale. I enjoy kale and other greens and will likely try this recipe with different varieties of greens. Hope this helps!
I made this recipe AFTER I read all of teh bad reviews it received. Though from the south, I do not like greens – not the smell, not the taste, not the texture, but decided because they are SOOOO good for you to try it. I used 1/2 cup red wine instead of a full cup and 1/2 cup chicken stock. It was not bitter – came closer to a broccoli tase and went well with the rest of the meal.
I made this recipe for my Husband who loves greens, personally I don’t like them. It was a eay recipe to use, but didn’t have much taste.
They were bitter and nasty. I did not enjoy them at all. Won’t make this recipe again.
Having never cooked with Kale before, I was unaware how bitter it is when cooked. It is actually more bitter than when raw.
The recipe was very easy to make, looked nice but very hard to eat.
I am sure is good if you like greens.
First time I ever cook and try greens. It was bitter and the after taste was not something I care about.

My husband and I did not care for this recipe, although we loved the meatloaf recipe that went along with this meal. It was too bitter and too chewy.
