Today, I’m sharing the sautéed black kale bruschetta recipe with olive oil and red chili.
Make the Tuscan bruschetta with kale when you have a delicious loaf of crusty Italian bread and cravings for green delights.
BLACK KALE IN TUSCANY
In Tuscany, they make kale bruschetta when black kale is in season, mostly during the cold months of the year.
The bruschetta with kale is also a traditional Tuscan Christmas dish, probably because it is such an easy recipe: mamme and nonne need time to make all the other rich and nutritious dishes they’ll bring to the hungry table.

Lovely and elegant Tuscan people know what they’re talking about when in the kitchen. Apart from this lovely and easy kale recipe, try making:
- the gallinella sauce (chicken pasta) for your next pasta night;
