North German Gruenkohl (Kale) and Sausage

Step 1
Stir kale into a pot of boiling water and cook for 1 minute. Remove kale with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Step 2
Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until browned, stirring frequently, about 8 minutes. Stir in onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in blanched kale and cook until bright green and starting to turn tender, about 4 minutes. Pour in enough water to cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and stir in bouillon granules and nutmeg. Simmer until kale is tender, about 30 minutes.

Step 3
Stir mustard into the skillet. Lay ham slices and sausage links over kale mixture and simmer until sausage is cooked through, about 35 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.
