Creamed Braising Greens image

Everyone knows creamed spinach, but not everyone knows that the luxe preparation works equally well with heartier greens like collards, kale, chard and mustard. Eating your greens never felt so decadent.

Time 30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 shallot, thinly sliced
1 cup heavy cream
Pinch freshly grated nutmeg
Salt
3 to 4 pounds young greens, like collards, kale, chard or mustard, stemmed and finely shredded.

Steps:

  • In a saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of the butter over high heat until it foams. Add the garlic and shallot and cook over medium-low heat, stirring, until softened and golden, 5 minutes. Add the cream, bring to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, 10 minutes. Add the nutmeg and salt to taste. Using a hand blender, purée until smooth.
  • In a large pot, heat the remaining 4 tablespoons butter over high heat until it foams. Add the greens and cook, stirring constantly, until tender but still bright green, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and add the cream mixture. Lower the heat, cover and let simmer until cooked through, 5 minutes more. Taste for nutmeg and salt, season to taste and serve hot.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but this recipe did not turn out well. The greens were bitter and the cream sauce was lumpy.

This recipe was a disaster! The greens were overcooked and the cream sauce was curdled.

These greens were a little bland. I think I will add some more spices next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the greens were still too salty. I think I will reduce the amount of salt next time.

The greens were good, but the cream sauce was a little too rich for my taste.

I used collard greens for this recipe and they were a little tough. I think next time I will use a different type of greens.
