Helen’s Favorite Kale Sautee
~ 1/3 cup toasted walnuts
~ 1 pound kale (about 6 cups, chopped)
~ 2-3 cloves garlic
~ 2 tsp olive oil
~ 1/3 cup raisins
~ 1-2 Tbs water
~ dash or two of balsamic vinegar and salt to taste
Toast walnuts either in the toaster oven or regular oven, at about 325 degrees for 5 minutes (take care not to burn). Set aside.
De-stem kale, discarding the stems. Coarsely chop the kale and then wash it in a strainer.
Chop the garlic
Add olive oil to a skillet over medium heat, lifting and tilting the pan to coat. Add garlic and sauté for 15 - 30 seconds.
Add raisins and sauté for 30 seconds to 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent browning or burning. Raisins should be glossy and slightly puffed.
Add Kale and a few spoonfuls of water, cover and allow Kale to cook for a two minutes or until the Kale is a deep green and somewhat wilted.
Add nuts, salt and a dash of balsamic vinegar.
Stir and serve warm.
