Ingredients

2 bunches kale* ($5.38)

¼ tsp salt, divided ($0.01)

2 Tbsp salted butter ($0.16)

½ yellow onion, julienned (thinly sliced) ($0.47)

1 clove garlic, minced ($0.03)

¼ tsp red pepper flakes ($0.03)

⅛ tsp nutmeg ($0.03)

½ cup half 'n half, room temperature ($0.84)

3 Tbsp Parmesan cheese ($1.23)

Instructions

1 De-stem and rinse kale in cold water.

2 Coarsely chop kale and blanch in boiling water seasoned with ⅛ tsp salt for about 3 min. Quickly transfer kale to an ice bath to maintain color. Set aside.

3 Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat and add the remaining ⅛ tsp salt and the julienned (thinly sliced) onion.

4 Cook until softened. Then, add the garlic, red pepper flakes, and nutmeg and cook another 2 minutes.

5 Add the room temperature half 'n half over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cream thickens to a sauce consistency, about 5 minutes.

6 Add kale and Parmesan cheese and toss to coat and let it soften, about 5 minutes.

7 Season with salt and pepper to taste and remove from the heat. Transfer to your favorite casserole dish or serving plate to serve.
