Overview[edit | edit source]

Creamed Kale is a rich and savory side dish that offers a creamy twist to classic sautéed kale. Its decadent texture is achieved with the use of heavy cream and butter.

Ingredients[edit | edit source]

  • 6 cups kale, stems removed and chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Grated Parmesan cheese, for garnish (optional)

Preparation[edit | edit source]

  • 1. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
  • 2. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • 3. Add the chopped kale to the skillet and sauté until wilted, about 3-4 minutes.
  • 4. Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine.
  • 5. Season with ground nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat and let simmer until the kale is tender and the cream has thickened, about 10 minutes.
  • 6. Serve hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.

Serving Suggestions[edit | edit source]

  • Complements dishes such as grilled steak, roasted chicken, or fish.
  • Can be served alongside other low-carb side dishes for a hearty meal.
