Ingredients
- 1-2 clumps (not bunches) of fresh kale
- 1 tablespoon pine nuts
- 1 clove garlic, peeled & chopped
- olive oil
- 1 tablespoon raisins
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Directions
Note: a bunch of kale is the huge amount you can usually buy at the
supermarket. a bunch consists of multiple "clumps". i hope you will
not belabor these highly technical terms. just use your instincts on
what looks right. hint: the amount of leaves a clump yields would
just about (loosely) fill a 2 qt. pan. that is the a
approximate quantity to aim for per person.
Rinse kale, cutting off long stems.
Toast pine nuts until golden.
Saute garlic in oil (medium heat) for a minute or so then add rinsed kale
(still a little wet).
Stir for a minute or two, then cover for a couple of minutes. The
kale should kind of steam in the little bit of water that was on it.
If all water cooks off, add a splash more.
Add raisins and pine nuts. Stir, then cover a few more minutes.
Add balsamic vinegar; stir, then cover for a few more minutes.
Good warm or at room temperature. Also nice on pasta.
Serves: 1.
Preparation time: 15 minutes or so.
