Recipe Ingredients

1		Frozen chopped kale or
		Collard greens - (10 oz) - thawed, squeezed dry
1 cup	237ml	Whole-milk ricotta cheese
3/4 cup	109g / 3.8oz	Parmesan cheese - divided
		= (preferably freshly grated)
2		Eggs - lightly beaten
1 teaspoon	5ml	Salt
3 tablespoons	45ml	Atkins Bake Mix - plus
1/2 cup	55g / 1.9oz	Atkins Bake Mix
4 tablespoons	60ml	Butter - cut in pieces
1 tablespoon	15ml	Chopped fresh sage leaves
		= (or 3/4 tspn dried, crumbled sage)

Recipe Instructions

In a large bowl, mix kale, ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup of the Parmesan, eggs, salt and 3 tablespoons bake mix until mixture resembles a thick, slightly stiff batter.

Place remaining bake mix in a shallow dish. Dip your hands in bake mix and form ricotta mixture into 1-inch balls. Roll them lightly in bake mix to coat evenly. Transfer to a tray lightly dusted with bake mix. (Dumplings may be made ahead to this point and frozen.)

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly butter a shallow baking dish. Bring a medium saucepan of lightly salted water to a simmer. Cook dumplings, 8 or 9 at a time, 2 to 3 minutes, until they float to the surface of the water. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to buttered dish.

In a small saucepan melt butter with sage; cook until butter turns a light brown, about 3 minutes. Drizzle dumplings with sage butter. Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan. Bake 10 minutes, until lightly browned.
