Method

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Discard any faded or yellowing leaves and the center ribs from well-washed kale. Steam, covered, for 15 minutes, or until tender. Cool and press out liquid from kale. Chop kale finely. Melt butter in a heavy saucepan over low heat; whisk in flour. Cook and stir 2 minutes. Whisk in milk. Add half of the cheese and the salt, pepper, nutmeg and hot pepper sauce. Cook, stirring constantly, until thick and bubbly. Add chopped kale. Transfer mixture to a buttered baking dish; sprinkle with a mixture of the bread crumbs and remaining cheese. Bake until golden brown and bubbly, 15 to 20 minutes.

 

Notes: This is an extra-special side dish for Southern Thanksgiving celebrations. Good old-fashioned soul food.
