Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
-
1 cup sliced leek, white and light green parts only (see Tip)
-
12 cups chopped kale or collards (about 1 large bunch)
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
¾ teaspoon kosher salt

½ teaspoon ground pepper
-
1/4-3/4 cup water, as needed
-
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
-
1 ½ cups reduced-fat milk

Pinch of nutmeg (optional)
Directions
-
Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add leek and cook, stirring frequently, until starting to soften, 1 to 2 minutes. Add greens, garlic, salt and pepper; cook, stirring often, until very soft, 10 to 20 minutes, adding water 1/4 cup at a time if the greens start to stick. Sprinkle with flour and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Stir in milk and nutmeg (if using); cook, stirring, until just starting to boil and thicken, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve hot.
Tips
Trim leeks, split lengthwise and wash in plenty of water until no grit remains.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
