This Cavolo Nero and kale sea bass stir fry is a nutritious and healthy fish recipe you can prepare in a timely fashion.

This cavolo nero and kale sea bass stir fry is yet another quick recipe to prepare (ideally for week time) when we tend to have a lot less time to cook.

It is a nutritious recipe is always welcome, especially when this can be cooked in a flash. I know I put a lot of emphasis on the time it takes us for all this cooking but don’t you guys feel the same, you want to cook something to be super healthy, (okay, I agree, not all the time but most times), something to look and taste super good, and to be on the table in a flash! To me, this is the ideal outcome. It is super cool to be able to do all this home cooking and to tick all those boxes.

What is cavolo nero?

I don’t know if you’re very familiar with this beautiful leafy ingredient called cavolo nero, I remember the first time I came across this leaf (a good few years back) I was very intrigued by its appearances, I thought it looks very pretty but unusual at the same time so I was very keen to give it a try. 

So, just in case you are not really familiar with what this really is, here are some facts about it and a little explanation about it and where it comes from.

A few Cavolo nero (Lacinato kale) leaves

It is known by a lot of names like Lacinato kale (in Italian) or simply black kale (in English), as Italian kale, Tuscan kale, flat back cabbage, Tuscan cabbage, dinosaur kale, palm tree kale, or black Tuscan palm.

Yes, you’ve guessed it! The cavolo nero originates from Italy and it has got quite a long tradition (we are talking centuries old here ;-)) in Italian cuisine, especially in the region of Tuscany. Lacinato kale is also one of the traditional ingredients for Italian recipes such as ribollita, minestrone.

I love the way it looks, the way it tastes. It’s great stuff so let’s just get it in the pan.

Notes

The same with the greens, those can be replaced with seasonal stuff like pak choi, cabbage, chard and so on.
