Kale with Raisins and Pine Nuts

Updated: Jul 28




Kale is one of the healthiest and nutritious plant foods. It’s low in calories but high in vitamins, so it’s among the most nutrient dense foods. A cup of kale contains Vitamins A, B6, C, and K, manganese, calcium, copper, potassium, and magnesium and more This is my favorite kale recipe.


Ingredients:

¼ cup toasted pine nuts 2 tsps. extra-virgin olive oil

¾ pounds (6 cups) chopped kale 2 garlic cloves, minced

2 cups water 1/3 cup of raisins

Salt & pepper to taste


Toast pine nuts and set aside. Wash and strip kale from the stalks; discard stalks and roughly chop the kale. Bring water to a boil in a 10x12” skillet with a tight lid. Add the kale and cook covered, over high heat, stirring occasionally, until tender about 5 minutes. Remove kale and drain. Dry the skillet and heat olive oil over medium heat in the skillet; lift and tilt the skillet to coat. Add garlic and sauté for 15 seconds. Add in raisins and sauté for 30 seconds to 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add in kale and stir to combine. Season with a dash of salt and pepper and cover everything for another minute. Garnish with the toasted pine nuts and serve.
