Steamed Brussel Kale Sprouts

Kale Sprouts or Brussel Kale, is one new kid on the block that is a cross between Red Russian kale and conventional Brussel sprouts.


These kale sprouts certainly bear resemblance to Brussel sprouts and Red Russian kale, if you associate its shape to Brussel sprouts, and color to Red Russian kale.

In wholes of purple stalks and green leaves, they cook faster than Brussel sprouts under the heat of the pan and taste milder than Brussel sprouts, with an appealing bittersweet when gently sauteed with the simplest ingredients: garlic, salt and pepper.

Grab them when you see them. It's seasonal.
