I'm a vegetarian, so I omitted the pinkel. The dish was still very flavorful.

I'm allergic to kale, so I substituted spinach. The dish was still delicious.

I've never had pinkel before, but I really enjoyed it. The kale was also cooked perfectly.

This dish was a disappointment. The kale was tough and the pinkel was bland.

I loved the crispy texture of the kale. The pinkel was a bit too salty for my taste, but overall I enjoyed the dish.
