Preparation

Butter a 9-inch (23 cm) square ovenproof dish and rub with a halved garlic clove.

In a pot of salted boiling water, blanch the kale for 4 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water. Squeeze dry and set aside.

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a large pan, melt butter and sweat leek and fennel seeds 8 minutes without browning. Add kale and cook 1 minute while stirring. Season with salt and pepper.

Transfer to the prepared dish. Arrange sausage and potato on top. 

In a saucepan, melt the butter and add the flour.

Cook 2 minutes and add milk. Bring to a boil, whisking constantly.

Cook 2 more minutes and add nutmeg. Season with salt and pepper.

Pour the sauce over the dish and sprinkle with breadcrumbs and cheese.* Cook 30 minutes in the middle of the oven until sauce is bubbling. 

Tips

*At this point, the dish can be covered with plastic wrap and refrigerated for cooking the next day.
