This kale casserole hasn’t even been in my blog plans. And not because of it’s “horrible” taste (it’s actually delicious), I just acknowledge that it’s not meant to be posted. First time I cooked it, it was surprisingly tasty and definitely worth remembering. So, I decided to prepare it once again, list all the ingredients and make photos.
Well, doing all those three things were impossible with this kale casserole! I don’t know why, but every time I had started cooking it something went wrong. I forgot to write down ingredients countless times, or the recipe disappear in some mysterious circumstances. I even left one in my home town and forgot to bring it back. Few casseroles later, I finally managed to write this recipe down. But then the photo issue came to the picture.
Because good, natural light in autumn is a really though and tricky thing to get, taking photos of casserole was quite a challenge. And when I said to myself that this time is the last attempt (no more writing things down, no more photos), it happened. There it was, everything I needed at right place and time. Light, ingredients, camera. Kale casserole finally was captured.
And that the end of kale casserole story. Thankfully, I didn’t give up and I never forget this delicious recipe.
It may seem like a quite simple dish and truly it is. Kale, potatoes, bell pepper, onion and zucchini. But the sauce add this twist that makes us want to have another bite, and another, and… cooking this kale casserole one more time.
