My first attempt at using kale. My husband, an avowed greens hater, said it is rather odd- tasting, but he actually liked it. I, too, like it and will add it to my standards. The changes I made: no oil, and while pressure-cooking the potatoes I added a bit of hot dried pepper and beef "Better-than-Boullion". Great recipe for the pressure-cooker.
