I like to use toasted walnuts (price, availability and health benefits) but the original recipe calls for pine nuts (aka pignoli nuts).
10-15 mins
2-3 servings
1/4 chopped walnuts (or whole pine nuts)
About 6 cups chopped kale
2 tsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup raisins
Salt to taste
Toast the nuts. Put them on a baking sheet in oven at 325 for 5 mins. Watch closely as nuts burn fast! Pull out to cool. This can also be done in a dry frying pan on top of your stove, just keep them moving on medium heat for 5 mins.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil on medium heat. Add garlic and raisins. Raisins should get glossy and slightly puffed, garlic will begin to brown. Add the kale. Note: kale can be steamed first but I prefer to retain more nutrients by cooking it in the pan. Turn over the kale so the garlic and raisins begin to mix with the kale. If it gets dry, you can add a little bit of water. Sautee on medium until kale starts to wilt about 5-7 mins (pan can be covered to cook the kale faster). Toss in nuts, and salt to taste. Enjoy!
