So Fresh, So Green: SPIN Test Drives Andre 3000's Kale Recipe
André 3000 isn't just the wizard of guest verses. The OutKast MC eats his vegetables, too. Last week, Dre jotted down his favorite kale recipe for Bon Appetit's Back of the Napkin series, saying he "fell in love" with the chewy, leafy green and all the nutrients it carries. He raps, he sings, he acts, and now, turns out he cooks! Listen, this man is magic. If he can do that to a Ke$ha song, just think what he can do to a couple heads of vitamin-rich cabbage. So, naturally, we had to put his recipe to the test. SPIN headed down to our nearest Whole Foods (because where else is Stacks going to get his soy-free margarine?) and rustled up as many of the ingredients as we could find.
