Steaming Kale on the Stove: Place the chopped kale in a steamer basket. Bring 1-2 inches of water to a boil in a large pot then carefully place the steamer basket into the pot. Cover and cook for 5-10 minutes, until kale is just wilted. If you don't have a steamer basket, put the kale in a microwave-safe bowl with about 1 teaspoon of water (the water in the kale itself will be enough to do most of the steaming). Cover the bowl with a paper towel or microwave-safe plastic wrap.
Soil, Planting, and Care. Set out plants in spring 3 to 5 weeks before the last frost; in late summer, you can begin planting kale 6 to 8 weeks before the first frost for fall and winter harvests, and continue planting throughout the fall in zones 8, 9, and 10. Kale grows best in full sun, but will tolerate partial shade as well.
