These are three veggies that I really think you will like and maybe even love. Give them a try and then let me know what you think.
Jicama - You may have to ask someone in the supermarket where these are but all major supermarkets should have them. If not try Mexican Markets in your area. They are tan in color, tight skin and no major discolorations or wrinkles. When you get it home, peel away the skin, its really fiberous and may just need cut it off. Flesh is white, crispy and great in salads. Or try it sliced with a sprinkling of lemon juice or lime, some salt and if you like chili power.
Black kale (Calavo Nevo) I don't find this kind of kale around but when I do, I buy it up. The leaf is curly like the green kale, but thinner. Wash it, cut off the ends of the stems if needed. Heat some olive oil in a pan with a little garlic and a little water. Steam it for a few minutes. Serve with a dab of butter
Kabocha This one is going to take a little more cooking than the others but worth the effort. You can find it with the winter squash and looks like a green striped pumpkin. Cut it in half, take out the seeds and then slice it into 1" slices. Season with salt and pepper and olive oil. Roast it in a 450 degree oven til soft.
