Pinkel with kale
Pinkel with kale is a traditional dish from northwest Germany. The sausage (Pinkel) is a coarse-grained, smoked Grützwurst. Together with kale and boiled potatoes it is a very popular meal.
Once kale gets its first frost in November, the eagerly awaited kale season begins. The cold weather causes the vegetable to lose its tart flavor and become sweet.
In the period from January to February, kale has the highest content of vitamin C and folic acids of all domestic winter vegetables.
