Ingredients

  • 1 bunch of Kale (remove stems and center ribs from greens, wash & chop)

  • 2 tbsp Butter (or non-dairy alternative)

  • 2 tbsp Flour (or gluten free alternative)

  • 2 cups Milk (or non-dairy alternative, unflavored)

  • 1 cup White Onion, finely chopped

  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced

  • 1 tsp Salt

  • ¼ tsp Nutmeg

  • Grouond Black Pepper to taste

Directions

  • Place 3 cups of water in a large pot and bring it to a boil.
  • Add the kale.  Mix and cover.  Steam for 4 minutes, or until tender.  Mix occasionally.
  • Strain in a colander and rinse thoroughly with cold water to cool.  Squeeze out any excess water from the kale and set aside.
  • Add the butter to a sauce pot on medium heat.  Add the onions and sauté for 3 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to low and add the garlic.  Sauté for 1 minute.
  • Mix in the flour and cook for 1 minute.
  • Add milk in a gradual stream all the while whisking the mixture.  Add the nutmeg and black pepper and whisk the mixture continuously until it comes to a boil. Simmer, whisking occasionally for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  • Fold in the steamed kale, heat slowly, adjusting the seasoning if necessary.
