Creamed Kale

This side dish is similar to creamed spinach but with a litle more substance as the the kale doesn’t just disintegrate into the cream when cooked. By first blanching the kale in hot salted water and then sautéing it with the heavy cream, the bitterness of the kale is leached out. You’re left with a great side dish that holds up better to protein main courses like steak or pork chops. This is the sort of dish you can serve to someone who claims to hate kale but likes spinach. Just don’t tell them what it is first and see if they can figure it out!
