Kale is a leafy green vegetable that is often used in salads and smoothies. It has a slightly bitter taste and a sturdy texture that makes it perfect for cooking. These kale patties are a healthy alternative to traditional meat patties. They are made with boiled kale, grated onion, egg, and flour, and are seasoned with salt and pepper. The patties are then coated in breadcrumb and fried until crispy. They can be served as a vegan and gluten-free snack or a full meal, and can be enjoyed with your favorite dressing or sauce.

Instructions

1.	Boil the kale in salted water for 3-5 minutes, until cooked.
2.	Drain the water and let the kale cool down for a few minutes.
3.	In a large bowl, mix the cooked kale, grated onion, egg, flour, salt and pepper.
4.	Grind the bread rolls in a food processor until fine crumbs are formed.
5.	In a separate bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with salt and pepper.
6.	Form the mixture into 8-10 patties.
7.	Heat some shortening in a large skillet over medium-high heat, until hot.
8.	Add the patties and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
9.	Serve hot with your favorite dressing or sauce.
