    These vegetables compliment each other! The sweetness of the carrots makes a real difference! Packaged carrot shreddy things make short order of the prep. Plus, it is colorful on the plate. - 8/10/09

    I found the coriander, cayenne, and carrot flavors very comforting when combined. I am also happy about not overcooking the carrots or the kale. I will make this again. - 11/3/09

    This was so good! I prefer kale to spinach because it doesn't make my teeth "fuzzy". Very easy. - 2/25/09
  • TAMINGDRAGONS
    Yea - a good way to include kale, which is high in lots of vites and minerals! Making it lots now. - 3/17/07

    Wow! I'd not tried Kale before, but this was terrific! I limit sugar so I cut the carrots back to about 1 ounce. I sautéed some shrimp in the pan before I cooked the Kale. I circled the shrimp around that pile of greens with the splash of carrots and it was gorgeous! Picture coming tomorrow! - 5/17/10

    I never ate kale before but found it cut and chopped in a bag in the supermarket then came home and found this recipe. It was amazing. I ate the left overs for lunch the next day. It is quite filling and delicious. I did use extra virgin olive oil instead of canola oil. - 7/17/07

    The smell of broccoli while cooking, but tasted more like spinach. But alot firmer. I steamed it earlier in the day to make a quicker sidedish. Child ate a full portion. He's 5. 'nuff said. - 3/8/12

    I love Kale anyway but am used to cook it the German way. This was so easy and it turned out very delicious. I left of the cayenne because of allergies but it had enough flavor without it. I was surprised how nicely the carrots enhanced the flavor of the Kale. I will be making this a lot!! - 7/14/11

    I made a half recipe but couldn't taste either the garlic or the coriander. It was pretty good, though, and a good way to get some extra nutrition for not a lot of calories - 1/26/10

    This was pretty good. I wasn't sure if I would like Kale or not. I added a touch of nutmet - only because nutmet goes well with coriander. - 7/29/08

    We tried Kale and did not try it again. I wanted to and this recipe was great. I cut the carrots thicker and left out the coriander and cayenne. I cooked with coconut oil and cooked it longer with the carrots. The Kale was dark and shiny and we loved it this time. Thanks for this recipe, - 2/27/17

    Sorry...just didn't think it was anything special. Reminded me of boiled spinach with some carrots thrown in. I like it better stir-fried without boiling it first. - 3/15/14

    I loved this recipe; made with shrimp as suggested for the perfect healthy, tasty dinner. Kale is my favorite superfood. This one is definitely going to be a regular. - 8/11/11
