Easy Slow-Cooker Creamed Kale Recipe

• 2 bunches kale (about 1 3/4 pounds), cleaned, stems discarded
• 1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter
• 1 small onion, minced (about 1 cup)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced (about 2 teaspoons)
• 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 cup
• or store-bought low-sodium chicken stock
• 1/2 cup finely grated aged Romano or Parmesan cheese
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
• Pinch crushed red pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest

1. Cut kale into ribbons and place in the bowl of a large slow cooker.
2. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until almost tender, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and continue cooking until fully softened, about 2 minutes longer. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute. Whisk in milk, heavy cream, and stock and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring, until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in cheese, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, nutmeg, and crushed red pepper. Simmer for 1 minute and pour over kale.
3. Cover and cook on low setting for 2 hours, stirring occasionally and adding stock as necessary if the bottom threatens to burn. Stir in lemon zest and adjust seasoning before serving.
