Croatian Kale Stew (Kelj Cuspajz)
- 700 g kale (one medium kale "head")
- 150 g bacon (smoked, dried)
- 200 g potato
- 1 spoon fat (pork, preferably)
- 1 spoon flour
- 1 teaspoon paprika (red, dried, grounded)
- Wash the kale and cut it in 1 inch pieces. Preheat the water and when it boils put the kale in it and leave it boil for one minute. During this operation prepare this: put fat in a pot, heat it and brown flour in fat (but not too brown). Add grounded paprika and just few drops of cold water to make "zafrig" (a kind of "sauce veloute"). Take out kale with hollow spoon, add sliced potato in small cubes and water you have cooked kale in it. Season with salt and pepper and cook until potato is soft (10-20 minutes). Serve as a side dish to steaks, sausages, dried smoked ham etc.
