Crunchy Swiss vegetables

These crunchy vegetables cooked Swiss style go very well with the Swiss roast chicken and other meat recipes as a side dish.

Ingredients

2 cups kale (shredded, about 20 leaves)
1 cup carrot (coarsely grated, about 2 medium sized)
3 tablespoons butter
1⁄2 teaspoon pepper (or to taste)
1 pinch nutmeg
1 tablespoon flour (white flour)
1 cup water
  salt (to taste)

Instructions

Melt butter in a large pan over medium high heat. Add kale and saute for about 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently.

Sprinkle with pepper, nutmeg, and flour. Stir to coat kale with flour.

Add water, turn heat to low, and cook, covered, for 6-7 minutes.

Remove pan from heat, add carrots and mix well.

Serve.

Notes

To prepare kale, wash the leaves, cut away the center ribs, along the stems, cut each leaf into 1/4 inch strips.

If you find kale too bitter, substitute it with the same amount of Swiss chard - sweeter flavor and softer texture. Prepare the chard the same way you would kale.
