Kale with Potato Waffles and ham

Kale with air-dried ham and warm potato waffles

November 2nd, 2017 | main dishes

When I was a child I did not like kale. I qualified this statement when I travelled to Shanghai and tasted sea cucumbers. Today I eat kale, but I still don’t like our traditional German way to prepare kale. Too fat, too ugly, too heavy. And then this sausage called „Pinkel“?!? Last autumn I gave kale a second chance. I must admit it’s a very tasty vegetable. It’s only a matter of how to prepare it. Try this.

min. 100 air-dried ham (Serrano or Parma ham or Coppa di Parma)

The potato waffles may also be served with a simple tomato sauce and Parmesan. A bruschetta prepared of diced tomatoes, diced Mozzarella cheese, basil, olive oil, balsamic vinegar and Mediterranean herbs is also perfect wih the waffles.
