I had neither the cucumbers nor red chili, & only canned chick peas at hand, but nevertheless, your recipe inspired quite a good impromptu meal. I cooked my kale in some just-finished chicken stock & heated the drained peas, but did not cook anything else. Having neither the ovine nor caprine sort, I made my sauce with ordinary bovine Greek yogurt ;-) I grabbed a bit of mint from the garden (wish I had thought of chives, too, while I was out there,) & used some finely minced red bell pepper along with the grated ginger. It was my intention to add a little lemon juice with a bit of zest, but when I went for the ginger, lemon, & pepper, I saw that I had kumquats & decided to slice a couple for the sauce. Since I was not cooking the garlic, I opted to use roasted garlic, along with a drizzle of the oil in which I had roasted garlic & rosemary. A quick splash of soy sauce, & my non-tzatziki was ready to pour over the kale & peas. I still want to make your version, (although I’m not sure I can find sheeps- or goats-milk yogurt in my small town,) but I’ll be making mine again, as well. Thank you for the inspiration!

It's how I'm raising my kids too. Here in the UK it's traditional to feed the children their supper first, put them to bed then eat a grown-up dinner. I only do that if hubby is going to be home late because I like to eat with our kids, family-style, and this helps them try all sorts of food. I'm convinced that's why my kids love things like mushrooms, spinach and olives that their friends either turn their noses up at or have never tried. And your tzatziki is nice and pure - just the way I like it! WIll try your kale dish soon. :-) You ARE lucky to have been raised that way Silvia. It’s how I’m raising my kids too.

What I do know and love is the swiss chard. Now you are encouraging me to try it again. I dont know kale well; I tried it once in chips and hated it. What I do know and love is the swiss chard.

I especially like the lacinato variety (cavolo nero) for its tenderness.

Ce qu'il y a de bien de nos jours, c'est qu'on parle de nutriments qu'ont chaque ingrédients et qu'il est fort important de bien manger. Vois-tu, chez moi aussi, je devais manger ce qu'il y avait dans mon assiette. Pas question chez moi de manger du Kaft Dinner ou des pizzas congelées pendant que mes parents mangeaient autre chose. C'est vrai que c'est un peu strict, mais c'est important pour apprendre à manger des trucs variés! Cette recette que tu nous offres aujourd'hui est fort inspirante!
