Name: Creamed Kale Gratin
Prep time: 30 min
Total time: 1 h 30 min
Yield: 8
Ingredients: 4 bunch kale; 1 1/2 large Vidalia onions; 6 tbsp. butter; 1 1/4 tsp. salt; 3/4 tsp. Freshly ground pepper; 5 tsp. all-purpose flour; c. white wine; 1 1/2 c. heavy cream; 1 c. milk; 3/4 tsp. lemon zest; 1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg; tsp. cayenne pepper; 2 c. grated Parmesan cheese

Step 1In a 3-quart pot over high heat, bring 2 1/2 quarts water to a boil. Working in 2 batches, blanch kale for 30 seconds. Transfer each batch to a colander and let drain until cool. Squeeze kale to remove excess water, then chop roughly and reserve.

Step 2Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, cook onions, butter, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and freshly ground pepper, stirring frequently, until onions are soft and caramelized, about 25 minutes. Add flour and stir. Add wine and bring to a simmer. Add cream, milk, zest, nutmeg, and cayenne, and simmer for 2 more minutes. Add 1 1/2 cups cheese, reserved kale, and remaining salt, and stir to combine.

Step 3Pour kale mixture into a 2 1/2-quart baking dish and sprinkle on remaining cheese. Bake until bubbling and brown, 45 to 50 minutes. Serve immediately.
