Among the many types of kale, there’s one that is unusually delicious and available in late fall and winter markets in North America and Europe. It is called cavolo nero (black cabbage), or lacinato, Tuscan kale, or sometimes dinosaur kale. When buying kale, look for bunches with intact leaves and firm stems. Cut the leaves away from the inedible fibrous stem, then chop or shred the leaves, which then can be steamed, blanched, sautéed, used in soup or stew, or mixed into pasta or rice. Properly cooked, cavolo nero is very tender. It turns almost black, and it has a robust flavor with a mild, sweet aftertaste. [2019] - William W Li
