Best Creamed Curly Kale Recipes
CREAMED KALE
Steps:
- Blanch the kale in lightly salted water until tender, rinse in ice water, drain and cut into 1/2-inch ribbons. In a large saute pan over medium heat, melt the butter and add the kale, cream and nutmeg. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 5 minutes, or until the cream has reduced and thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
COCONUT CREAMED KALE
These are not your typical creamed greens: Here, curly kale, rich coconut milk, curry powder and chile sauce are tossed together, then baked. The result is two textures in one: creamy on the bottom and crunchy (like a kale chip) on top. Crisp coconut flakes bring even more texture. Serve the greens with plenty of the curry coconut sauce spooned over. Pair them with rice, chewy noodles, roasted squash or red lentils, or alongside white fish or shrimp.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees. In a 3-quart/9-by-13-inch baking pan, use a fork to stir together the coconut milk, curry powder, ginger and sambal oelek. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and a generous grind of black pepper.
- Add half the kale and use your hands to toss to coat. Add the remaining kale, season with salt and pepper, and massage with your hands so that the volume decreases a bit, and the kale no longer extends above the pan's edge. Toss just once or twice so some of the kale is coated in sauce.
- Bake for 35 minutes. Sprinkle with coconut flakes, then continue to bake until the sauce has thickened and the kale on top is crisp, another 10 to 15 minutes, keeping an eye on the coconut flakes to avoid burning. Serve warm.
CREAMED CURLY KALE
delicious side - adapted from Oui, Chef. If you want the dish a little on the chunky side, just sauté the blanched kale ribbons with the onion, garlic and cream and serve it up like that. If you want it a bit smoother, after cooking give it a few quick pulses in your food processor (that's what we did). If you want it fully pureed like a traditional creamed spinach, let it run for a good 20-30 seconds in your processor.

Steps:
- Fill a large bowl with ice water and set it aside.
- Set a large stock pot full of salted water to boil over high heat. Add the kale ribbons to the boiling water and blanch until slightly tender, about 3-4 minutes. Scoop the kale from the water and toss it into the ice bath to stop it cooking and set its color. Let cool, then drain the kale in a large colander. Squeeze any excess water out of the kale and set it aside.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat and add the minced onion. Cook until translucent, then add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook another 2 minutes. Add the kale and the cream and turn the heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cream thickens to a sauce consistency, about 5 minutes. Melt in Parmesan. Season to taste with salt and pepper and remove from the heat.
- Serve as is, or process in a food processor to achieve the texture you desire.
