Tips

Since the kale has a lot of volume, always put in the cooking pot in portions.

The kale stew can also be cooked in the oven. However, with this large quantity, it is recommended to cook the potatoes extra in a pot on the stove top, otherwise the cooking time will be longer. At the end, put everything together. Alternatively: pre-cook the potatoes first in the oven with a little water and then add the vegetables.

The fresh chickpeas should be soaked in water the night before and cooked in a pressure cooker for 15 minutes the other day. Alternatively, canned chickpeas can be used.
