Categories Vegetable

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/3 cup pine nuts
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 garlic
1/3 cup golden raisins
1/3 cup apple cider
2 bunches kale
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 lemon, cut into fine matchsticks

Steps:

1. Set the oven at 350 degrees.
2. On a baking sheet, spread the pine nuts. Bake for 7 to 8 minutes, or until fragrant and golden.
3. In a large flameproof casserole over medium heat, heat the oil and garlic until the garlic starts to sizzle and turn pale golden. Add the raisins and cider and stir for 30 seconds, or until the raisins soften slightly.
4. Add as many handfuls of kale as will fit in the pan. Cook, turning often with tongs, until the kale begins to wilt. As the volume decreases, add more kale to the pan until all the kale has been added. Cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes, or until the kale is tender. If the pan seems dry, add water, 1 tablespoon at a time. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
5. Stir in the lemon juice, vinegar, and pine nuts. Taste for seasoning and add, more lemon juice or vinegar, if you like. Sprinkle with the lemon rind.
