- 1 teaspoon minced tarragon
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt

directions
- Preheat oven to 350°. Butter a 2-quart shallow baking dish.
- Wash, derib and coarsely chop the kale.
- Place in a pot with a little bit of water and steam until almost tender, 5 minutes or so. Check to make sure it's not burning.
- Peel and cut potatoes and onions into 1/8-inch thick rounds.
- If desired, saute onions until lightly browned. It gives more flavor, I think.
- Drain kale and let stand until cool enough to handle. Press out excess water.
- Build up alternating layers of potatoes, onions and kale (two layers each) in baking dish, beginning and ending with potatoes and dotting each onion layer with butter, minced tarragon, salt, pepper and garlic powder.

- Place under broiler, if desired, to brown the top.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am a Christian wife and mother of 3 kids. Since my DH's high cholesterol, we've been eating better. I never used to like cooking. Since eating better, I've liked learning and preparing new recipes. My kids haven't reconciled themselves to the new eating yet. I grind my own grain and make all my own breads.?Working 2 hours a day in the local high school lunch room.??I am homeschooling my high schooler.? ?Also found out 1 child has multiple food allergies (wheat, dairy, tomato, chocolate, etc) and another is gluten sensitive. So, we just started (July 09) eating gluten and dairy free. I've been busy with getting our house market ready, even though it's not the best time for that.?
