North German Gruenkohl (Kale) and Sausage Recipe

Bring a pot of water to a boil and stir in the kale; boil for 1 minute and remove from the water with a slotted spoon. Set the blanched kale aside.

Place bacon into a large skillet over medium heat and cook until browned stirring frequently about 8 minutes. Stir in the onion and cook until translucent about 5 minutes. Stir in the blanched kale and cook until kale is bright green and starting to turn tender about 4 minutes. Pour in enough water to cover and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and stir in the beef bouillon granules and nutmeg. Simmer the kale until tender about 30 minutes.

Stir the mustard into the kale and lay the ham slices and sausage links on top. Simmer the kale ham and sausages until the sausages are cooked through about 35 more minutes. Season to taste with salt and black pepper before serving.
