Creamed Kale
[This recipe is from The Nordic Cookbook by Magnus Nilsson and has been transcribed by BtP Host, Kappy.]
1 large bunch curly kale, stripped from stems and roughly torn, about 8 cups
7 oz. heavy cream
1 Tablespoon AP flour
Salt and white pepper, to taste
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, salt it generously. Add half of the kale giving it a stir to make sure it is submerged, and blanch for about 1-2 minutes, or until bright green and slightly tender. Remove kale from water and place in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Repeat with the remaining kale.
Place kale in a colander and squeeze out all the excess water.
Pour the cold cream into a medium size sauce pot and whisk in the flour. Place over medium heat, add in the kale breaking it up with your fingers and bring to a simmer. Let bubble until the cream slightly reduces, about 5-10 minutes, and season with salt and white pepper. Place in a serving dish and serve.
Serves 4 as a side dish
