The purple kale in a pan, in fact, it is a way to consume this cruciferous which is considered a real one superfood.
It looks a lot like kale, although its leaves are much more curled and it has other color variations, the most common being that of kale. Typical of the winter (take advantage of the recipes with cabbage, broccoli, etc. in this period), it is rich in vitamins, minerals And contains very few calories. To enhance its flavor between bitter and spicy and its crunchy texture, we cooked it in a pan enriched and flavored with garlic, anchovies And chili. If you want a vegan or vegetarian version, remove the anchovy: it will always be tasty.
In this way the dish lends itself to being a perfect one side. But you can turn it into one delicious appetizer, if you serve it with black or homemade bread or with one flat bread. An excellent “gourmet” version is to add burrata raw and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
