Nice combination of kale, raisins & pine nuts. I sometimes add a hint of cinnamon. Loaded with iron. Ingredients:
1/4 cup toasted pine nuts |
3/4 lb green kale, washed, stems removed, and shredded |
2 teaspoons olive oil |
2 cups water |
4 garlic cloves, minced |
1/3 cup raisins |
salt & pepper |
Directions:
1. To toast the pine nuts place them on a cookie sheet in a 325°F oven for about 5 minutes, be careful they burn easily.
2. Bring water to boil in a skillet with a tight fitting lid, add kale and cook for approximately 5 minutes of until the kale is just tender, drain& set aside.
3. Rinse out the skillet, dry, add olive oil and heat over medium heat, add garlic and saute for 30 seconds, add raisins and stir for about 30 seconds.
4. The raisins should be glossy and slightly puffed.
5. Add kale, stir, season and saute until heated through.
6. Garnish with the pine nuts and serve.
