Kale and Sweet Potato Gratin

• YIELD: 6-8 Servings

• PREP: 25 mins

• COOK: 30 mins

• READY IN: 55 mins

Ingredients

• 5 tablespoons buttermilk

• 3 garlic

• salt and pepper to taste

• 1 bunch kale washed, stemmed and roughly chopped

• 3 large sweet potatoes peeled, sliced 1/8 inch thick

• 2 cups half-and-half

• 2 teaspoons cinnamon

• nutmeg freshly grated

• 1 cup cheddar cheese white, freshly grated

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease an 8x8 baking dish with 1 tablespoon of butter.
   

2. Smash garlic with the side of a knife and sprinkle generously with salt. Chop and scrape the garlic into a paste.
   

3. Combine garlic paste, kale, potatoes, half-and-half, cinnamon, and remaining 4 tablespoons of butter (cut into ½ inch pieces) in a pot.
   

4. Season generously with salt and pepper, and fresh nutmeg. Bring to a boil over medium high heat, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon.
   

5. Cook until potatoes are slightly tender and their starch has thickened the liquid, about 10 minutes.
   

6. Transfer the mix to the prepared baking dish; smooth the top as much as possible. Cover the gratin with cheddar and bake until deep golden brown, 20-30 minutes.
   

7. Let cool and set a little before serving.
