Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 tablespoons finely chopped Spanish onion
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups milk, scalded
  • Pinch freshly grated nutmeg
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 3 pounds kale, center stalk removed, and coarsely torn into pieces
  • Caramelized Shallots, recipe follows

Directions

Heat the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until soft. Whisk in the flour and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, not allowing the mixture to obtain any color. Whisk in the warm milk and cook until thickened. Season with nutmeg and salt and pepper, to taste. Keep warm until ready to use.

Meanwhile, bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the kale and cook until tender, about 10 to 15 minutes. Drain in a colander and then return to pot. Add cream sauce and cook until flavors meld, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Plate creamed kale and then top with Caramelized Shallots.

Caramelized Shallots:

6 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 tablespoons sugar

10 shallots, peeled and sliced, or 40 baby onions, peeled

Salt and freshly ground pepper

Melt the butter and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallots, season with salt and pepper, and cook until they begin to brown all over, about 10 minutes.

    I guess this is a recipe for people who don't like
    Kale. The cream sauce was extremely heavy and bland. The nutmeg was not enough on it's own to stand up to the sauce. We all like Kale here, but no one liked this recipe. If you like eating a cream sauce with no other flavors, this recipe is for you. Otherwise, save your time and use the kale in something flavorful like Tuscan soup. This recipe is a lot of trouble and not worth it.

    Delicious. Another really fabulous way to eat a healthy vegetable. I used 1/2 and 1/2,and shallots. This was easy all stovetop but I did put the finished dish in a hot oven to finish it. I will do it again.

    Excellent. This was the first time I cooked Kale. It was sooooooo delicious. I just mixed in the carmelized shallots in with the creamed spinach, rather than place it on top. I also learned what scalding milk meant. I will definately make this again.
