Description

This crunchy vegetables cooked Swiss style go very well with the Swiss roast chicken and other meat recipes as a side dish.

Ingredients

2Cupkale (shredded, about 20 leaves)
3Tablespoonbutter
1⁄2Teaspoonwhite pepper (or to taste)
1Pinchnutmeg
1Tablespoonflour (white flour)
1Cupwater
1Cupcarrot (coarsely grated, about 2 medium sized)

Instructions

  1. Melt butter in a large pan over medium high heat. Add kale and saute for about 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently.
  2. Sprinkle with pepper, nutmeg, and flour. Stir to coat kale with flour. Add water, turn heat to low, and cook, covered, for 6-7 minutes.
  3. Remove pan from heat, add carrots and mix well. Serve.

Notes

To prepare kale, wash the leaves, cut away the center ribs, along the stems, roll each leaf into 1/4 inch strips.

If you find kale too bitter, substitute it with the same amount of Swiss chard - sweeter flavor and softer texture. Prepare the chard the same way you would kale.
