I have not yet tried this recipe but plan to soon! I think the issue is Kale is bitter and tough. Try using your favorite leafy greens with this recipe, and see how it turns out if you do not prefer the flavor or texture of kale. I enjoy kale and other greens and will likely try this recipe with different varieties of greens. Hope this helps!

I made this recipe AFTER I read all of teh bad reviews it received. Though from the south, I do not like greens - not the smell, not the taste, not the texture, but decided because they are SOOOO good for you to try it. I used 1/2 cup red wine instead of a full cup and 1/2 cup chicken stock. It was not bitter - came closer to a broccoli tase and went well with the rest of the meal.
