It is easy to add Kale to this traditional English Dish. But first why would a family from Wyoming like Bangers and Mash?

It is because we are huge fans of the Book and British Tv Series, All Creature Great and Small by James Harriot. We have listened to all the books at least 3 times and watched the tv series, hmm, I lost count.

Kale Bangers and Mash

10 bangers, or Johnsonvill brats

3 Lbs white potatoes, peeled and diced

1 pint canned Kale, drained

½ medium onion, in thin slices

3 cups beef or pork broth

⅓ cup flour

¼ cup butter

4 teaspoons Olive oil

Place diced potatoes in a medium pot, fill with water until potatoes are just covered.

Bring to a boil and cook for 10 minutes or until potatoes are tender. When done, drain, add butter, and mash. Set aside to keep warm.

Meanwhile, cook Johnsovill brats according to instructions on the back in a medium saucepan.

Remove brats from the pan and set to the side under foil to keep warm.

In the same pan, heat your olive oil. Add garlic and onions. Cook until onions are transparent.

Add the flour to the pan and stir until all the onion and garlic are covered.

Slowly add in your broth. Bring to boil and cook until broth begins to thicken.

Add the drained kale, cook until gravy thickens and kale is warmed through.

When all three parts are finished, serve. Spoon mashed potatoes in the center of the plate making a well in the potatoes, pour over a serving of gravy and top with a banger. Serves 5 (including 3 growing men!)
