Unless they are super tough, I chop the separated stems from kale and
other greens and cook them with onions and garlic and other aromatics
for soups and stews. I either use them in the same dish as the greens
or save them for a different dish, depending on how I am using the
greens. They add a nice flavor to a dish.
