• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tablespoon white vinegar

Directions

Step 1

Wash the kale thoroughly in cold water. Remove the tough stems and roughly chop the leaves. Set them aside.

Step 2

Peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes. Set aside.

Step 3

Slice the smoked sausages into rounds. Finely dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves.

Heat the olive oil and butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onions and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 8

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for 35-40 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the flavors have melded together.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Stir in the white vinegar just before serving for a touch of brightness.
