Kale is a wonderfully tasty addition to your cooking arsenal.
Unfortunately it can be quite awkward to get, so I haven’t been able to use it in my cooking for the last couple of months. Fortunately I’ve been able to get a supply in the last week both from local corner shop and from Tesco.
So this evening I had planned to do a pasta with anchovy dish. Of course, as luck would have it, I didn’t have any anchovies, so I had to rejig the recipe a bit.
The end result was incredibly tasty, so I’m sharing the recipe with you 
I’m not 100% sure about the calorie count, so take it as a being a “guess”

I’m not sure if its nationwide, but my local Superquinn always has kale in stuck. Might be worth trying if you’re stuck.
I normally shop in SuperQuinn, Carlow. Unfortunately the last few times I’ve been in there they haven’t had any kale. Tesco in Youghal had it in stock at the weekend and my cornershop, who sell me most of my fruit and vegetables these days, have been able to get it (must to a blog post about that at some point!)
