Purple kale

It was time to try the purple kale.  I shredded and cooked for about 10 minutes.  It remained chewy, not soft, so decided no to give to girls.  I mixed mustard and sharp cheese with warm kale, which made it quite nice.  It must be rammed full of iron, the way it tastes.  Nigella suggested serving with chorizo. Hmm…?
