Kale with Bacon and Potato Sausage

Not only are potato chunks embedded in the sausage, potatoes are part of the braised kale. Bratwurst with chunks of potatoes are sometimes found at a local butcher. The sausage part is spiced pork. The sausages are often a bit smoked. 



Smoked pork is a key ingredient for braised kale. Lots and lots of it. In Germany's North there are special sausages made everywhere for the winter kale. The need for a clear high proof spirit is given. Even more then one.



I reduced the fat content by a good amount. I wont do as a honorary Northerner.



Recipe for 2:

350 g blanched kale, 1 large potato

1 onion, 75 g smoked bacon, 2 sausages with potato chunks, 1 tsp oil

150 ml veg stock, nutmeg, salt and pepper



Chop the blanched kale, the onion and cut the potato in bite size chunks.

In oil start the bacon. When it has a little color, add onion and kale. Let it cook 5 min, add potato chunks and season with nutmeg and pepper. Add tge veg stock and bring to a boil, reduce the heat and cook for 20 min. When the sausage is baked the day before, just cut it up and throw it in the pot after 15 min to heat through.

Check salt and seasoning and enjoy.
