3. Prepare the kale like Brussels sprouts after trimming the leaf stems and thoroughly washing the leaves.

5. Bring the mixture almost to a boil over low heat, stirring and whisking constantly, then quickly remove from the heat and stir in another piece of butter to prevent the sauce from curdling.
