Kale (Welsh Roma) Puns

Do the ends really justify the greens?

My husband is Dutch and they have a traditional dish where they boil kale and potatoes for 20 minutes and then mush them together.

I love this dish. And until recently I felt like it was a nice vitamin bomb for my body. I mean essentially you’re having a meal with 4 cups of chopped kale.

But my friend said recently that I might as well eat iceberg lettuce because when you boil kale that much, all the good stuff get poured out with the water and all that’s left is fiber.

Is this true?

Recipe here originally: Kale Soup with Lime-Cilantro Chickpeas

I made this tonight and loved it so much. It was so easy to make and only needed a few ingredients. It's really versatile too! If you can't find tomatillos, just buy a jar of salsa verde (usually $1.99 at the grocery store and you only need like half a jar) and just add it to the soup with the diced green chili peppers.

For something different, I piled the chickpeas on top of the soup instead of cooking them in the broth, I think it just added some nice brightness to the dish but you can absolutely cook the chickpeas in the soup if you prefer!

Substitutions:

Kale: Spinach or arugula

Tahini: It's optional as a way to thicken the soup, but you can use a peeled and diced potato

Method:

1. Char the tomatillos, jalapeño, and garlic: Preheat oven to 400ºF.

Transfer to the oven and roast for 15-20 minutes until beginning to char.
2. Start the kale soup: While the tomatillos roast, prepare the kale soup. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large pot and add the onion. Cook for 8-10 minutes until it begins to brown around the edges. Add the diced green chili peppers and cook for 4 minutes. Season lightly with salt.
3. Pour in the vegetable stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
4. Prepare the chickpeas: In a bowl, combine the chickpeas, lime juice, and zest, oil, and cilantro. Season lightly with salt. Set aside for 10-15 minutes.
5. Remove the garlic cloves from the skin. Trim the stems off the jalapeno peppers and remove any woody parts from the to

Specific Saiyans like Kale and Broly lose control of themselves when they transform. Why do you think so? (Please don't talk about rage, both goku and vegeta had rage moments when they transformed.)
