I tried my hand at Mrs. Beeton's Boiled Sea-Kale this week, and I must say, it was a journey back in time. I found the process of preparing the kale to be quite meditative, with the washing, trimming, and bunching requiring a level of attention to detail that's often missing in our microwaveable world. The most delightful surprise came when I tasted the kale after boiling—its tender, slightly sweet flavor was a far cry from the often-overlooked greens we're used to. This recipe is perfect for the curious weeknight cook looking to expand their vegetable repertoire. I served mine with a simple melted butter sauce, but I can see how a white sauce would also complement the kale's unique flavor. The next time you're at the farmer's market, pick up some sea-kale and give this vintage recipe a try—it's a humble dish that's sure to impress.
