Creamed Kale Recipe

1. Gather the ingredients.

2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and add about 1 tablespoon of salt.  Add the kale (do this in batches if necessary) and boil, stirring occasionally for 8 minutes until the kale is fairly tender.  Remove the kale with tongs, or drain in a colander.  Cool until you can handle it comfortably and then pull off the thick stems, and roughly chop the kale.

3. In a large pan over medium heat, melt the butter.  Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute until it turns golden.  Stir in the cream with some salt and pepper. Set over high heat and bring to a simmer. Add the chopped kale, nutmeg (if using), Parmesan, and salt (if needed) and pepper.  Bring the mixture back to a simmer and stir until the sauce becomes creamy and nicely coats the kale.  Taste and adjust seasonings.  Serve hot.

This is what Web M.D. has to say about kale, one of the most superfoods of recent years. Kale comes from the cabbage family, which also includes broccoli, cauliflower, and collards.

Did you know that there are different types of kale? There are many kinds of kale, and most major grocery stores should have at least one. When you buy kale, look for dark, crisp leaves. Before eating them, remove the leaves from the tougher stalks using your hands or a knife.
