Grünkohl (German-style braised kale with smoked sausage)

Step 1/ 3

First wash and dry the kale. Roughly chop it or tear it apart. Peel and dice the onions. Add bacon to a pan, over medium heat, let the fat render and then sauté it. Once browned, add the diced onions and sauté approx. 5 – 10 min. until translucent. Add kale, white wine and then the vegetable stock and bring to a boil. Cover the kale stew with a lid and let simmer for approx. 1 hr. on low heat.

Step 2/ 3

In the meantime, wash potatoes, add a pot, and cover well with water. Bring to a boil then reduce to a steady simmer for approx. 20 min. Drain potatoes, let cool, then peel them. Approx. 30 min. before the kale stew is ready, season with allspice, pepper, and mustard and stir in the oats. Add smoked sausages and let them warm through.

Step 3/ 3

Heat lard in a frying pan. Add the potatoes and fry until golden brown, season with salt. Then sprinkle with sugar and let them caramelize. Arrange kale stew and potatoes on plates. Top with bacon and sausages. Enjoy!

Enjoy your meal!
