Sunshine

This dish used to be a classic summer dish in Iceland - sorrel or fresh spinach in white sauce. Traditionally it is served with fish, either cooked fresh or salted fish, but it also goes well with smoked fish or fish balls.

In winter, you use fresh kale for this “sunshine” dish to at least bring a little “sunshine” into your home from a culinary point of view. With the current winter in Iceland, where one winter storm follows the next, it is urgently needed if you ask me..!

Ingredients for 2 servings

300 g fresh kale

1 Tbsp butter

2 Tbsp flour

200 ml milk

1/2 tsp coarse sea salt

1/2 tsp ground pepper

1 - 2 Tbsp sugar

Preparation

Clean the kale thoroughly with cold and hot water and remove the stalk.

Then place the kale in a large pot of boiling salted water and cook for about 5 minutes.

Then chop the cooked kale into small pieces.

Melt the butter in a second pot and mix it with the flour.

Then stir in the milk in portions until you have a nice, creamy sauce.

Season the white sauce with salt, pepper and sugar to taste.

Add the chopped kale to the sauce...

...and mix everything well.

Bon appetit!
