This is the first year for CSAs for us-- and lately we've been getting A LOT of kale. I only can make so much sausage/butternut/kale skillet til I just can't take it anymore and needed to figure some new ways of making this delicious green. I always enjoyed my mom's creamed spinach growing up, so I figured I'd attempt to make it paleo and with kale. Here is my attempt and it was awesome!!
- 1.5 TBS of fat of choice (I used no-sugar bacon grease)
- 2 medium clove garlic, minced
- 2 medium sweet onion, chopped
- 16 ounces kale leaves cut into bite sized pieces
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
- Pinch fresh grated nutmeg (to taste)
- ¾ cup coconut milk (canned)
Instructions
PREP:
Begin by mincing garlic and chopping onion.
Next, clean and stem kale. Cut the kale leaves into bite sized pieces and set aside. Measure coconut milk and spices.
COOK:
- Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Once hot, add in fat of choice.
- Add garlic and onion, sauté for 5 to 6 minutes, until softened.
- Add kale, stir and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until leaves begin to wilt.
- Finally, add in salt, white pepper, nutmeg and coconut milk. Cook, stirring frequently, for an additional 4 to 5 minutes until kale is soft and coconut milk is thickened.
- Taste, adjust seasoning if necessary
** I added a bit more coconut milk towards the end, stirred, tasted, seasoned again, stirred, placed the lid on, turned heat to low and let it come more together.
