re: Dinner tonight

Speaking of kale, tested out a Thanksgiving recipe: creamed kale. It was awesome. Going on the menu.

Adapted from MiLa cookbook, Southern Comfort (original recipe uses collards)

2 bunches kale, leaves and non thick stems only
3 shallots, finely diced
3 garlic cloves, finely diced
1 cup cream
Few sprigs of thyme
bay leaf
3 tbs of butter

Bring large, salted pot of water to boil. Blanch the greens for about three minutes. Shock in ice water. Drain; squeeze out water. Chop.

Heat butter in saute pan; add shallots and garlic and cook on low heat til soft. Add in cream, bay leaf, and thyme, adjust heat to medium. Reduce cream by half. Add in chopped kale. Toss to coat and warm through, about 3 minutes. Adjust to taste with salt and pepper.

I added a handful of grated parm to tighten up the sauce. Awesome recipe.
