Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup golden raisins
2 tablespoons pine nuts
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 garlic cloves, sliced
2 bunches black kale, leaves and stems separated and chopped
Kosher salt
Juice of 1/2 lemon

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large skillet set over medium heat. Add the raisins, pine nuts, red pepper flakes and garlic. Cook, swirling the skillet occasionally, until the pine nuts are toasted, about 2 minutes. Remove the ingredients from the oil with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  • Add the kale stems to the skillet and cook, stirring, until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the kale leaves in batches, stirring to wilt each batch. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 cup water, cover and cook, stirring once, until tender, 7 to 10 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and add the lemon juice and the reserved pine nut mixture. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt.

I'm not a huge kale fan, but this recipe changed my mind. The raisins and pine nuts really balance out the bitterness of the kale. I'll definitely be making this again.

Loved this recipe! The kale was perfectly massaged and the dressing was spot-on. I added a bit of crumbled feta cheese for extra flavor.

Easy to make and delicious! I used dried cranberries instead of golden raisins and it was still yummy. The pine nuts added a nice touch of crunch.
