- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over a high heat. Add the kale and simmer for one minute, then drain in a colander and immediately transfer to a bowl of iced water to stop it cooking. After 30 seconds, drain well and squeeze dry with kitchen paper.
- Melt the butter in a large saucepan over a medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook for one minute, stirring constantly.
- Sprinkle the flour over the onion mixture. Turn the heat to medium and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Whisk in the milk. Cook for 4-5 minutes longer, stirring slowly and continuously, until the sauce comes to a boil and thickens enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon. Reduce the heat to low and continue cooking for two minutes.
- Stir in the Parmesan, mustard, paprika, a pinch of salt and a generous amount of black pepper. Add the drained kale and mix well to combine. Allow to heat through over a low heat then serve.
