Time 1h45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound kale, stemmed and chopped
3 slices bacon, chopped
½ onion, chopped
2 cups water, or as needed to cover
2 teaspoons beef bouillon granules
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon prepared mustard
½ pound thickly sliced cooked ham, or to taste
4 links kielbasa sausage
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Bring a pot of water to a boil, and stir in the kale; boil for 1 minute, and remove from the water with a slotted spoon. Set the blanched kale aside.
  • Place bacon into a large skillet over medium heat, and cook until browned, stirring frequently, about 8 minutes. Stir in the onion, and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the blanched kale, and cook until kale is bright green and starting to turn tender, about 4 minutes. Pour in enough water to cover, and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, and stir in the beef bouillon granules and nutmeg. Simmer the kale until tender, about 30 minutes.

GERMAN STYLE GREEN KALE (GRUENKOHL)



German Style Green Kale (Gruenkohl) image

I am posting this for my father, who tried a version of this recipe at the Sion Brauhaus in Cologne, Germany when he was here visiting us. He enjoyed it so much, that he asked me to find a recipe for him. This recipe, as translated directly from the German version I found in "Koch Vernuegen Wie Noch Nie" is very close to what he tried. Bacon grease is really quite essential here for the flavor - please try not to use a substitute as it just won't taste quite the same. You may use any type of cooked sausage you like, however, if you decide to throw some in at the end of the cooking process. In the area of Germany I currently live in, you would most often see bratwurst added to the kale. I am guessing on the cook time as I have not acutally made this myself yet. I will warn you that this is a very ugly looking dish and may be considered an acquired taste for some, although I find it quite delicious personally.

  • Cover and let cook 45 minutes- it should get very, very tender and will be very, very soft.

  • Check seasonings again before serving.
