Our neighbor gave us a huge pile of kale last week. It's not my favorite thing, but I do know that we enjoy it after marinating for several hours. So I embarked on a project to include the meats I smoked last week with the kale we needed to use. Yesterday, this was the dish:



This is kale and cabbage, marinated in honey-mustard dressing for six hours, with homemade praline, Roquefort cheese, and dried cranberries, topped with my homemade smoked duck.

Today I was trying to use up some puff pastry, and still had some of the kale salad from yesterday (it lasts a while.) I filled the puff pastry with my homemade smoked salmon, green onions and cilantro, a bit of cheese. Baked and served with the kale salad. The topping on the puff pastry is a sauce I made with the duck liver, lobster mushrooms and duck stock-madeira reduction.
