Curly Kale With Sausages

Ingredients:

2 or 3 lb. curly kale

3 lb. potatoes

milk

salt

about 1 lb. smoked sausage or Frankfurters

4 tbsp. fat, butter or margarine, pepper

Preparations:

• Strip, wash and cut up the kale very finely. Boil kale in a little water with salt, about 40 minutes. Add peeled and cut potatoes and sausage and enough water to prevent burning (cooking time 30 minutes). Remove sausage from the pan, mash remainder and stir in boiled milk until smooth. Taste, add some pepper and salt if desired. "Stamppot" means that the vegetables and potatoes are mixed to a smooth consistency. It is a typical winterdish at home and the Dutch have a saying: never eat curly kale before the frost has got as it.
