We like our kale this way sometimes - always a hit. Hope you enjoyed whatever

cooking method you used. (Note: This recipe was previously posted to this group

KALE WITH CHILES, GARLIC AND RAISINS (VEGAN)Spicy.

 

1 lb kale

2 Tbsp olive oil (or as little as you can get away with - I use about a tsp!)

1 dried hot red chile (more or less, depending upon taste)

3 garlic cloves, crushed

4 Tbsp raisins

2 cups homemade vegetable stock

salt to taste

 

Wash kale, remove the long stalks and any thick branch stalks and then cut the

leaves crosswise very very finely. (I roll several at a time and cut them that

way.)

 

Put the oil in a pan big enough for the kale, add chile and garlic over

medium-high and stir until garlic colours slightly but doesn't brown (burnt

garlic? uggh!). Throw in those raisins and give them a quick stir and then toss

in all that kale, stirring it well, plus the stock. When the stock comes to the

boil, turn the heat down to lower and simmer the kale covered for around half an

hour until it is tender but not mushy. The time depends on the age of your kale.

When the kale is done, remove the lid and let any extra liquid in the pan boil

away over a high heat. Season, stir, and serve as a side vegetable for bean

burgers or the like or spoon over rice or split baked potato for a light supper

or lunch. (Watch out for that chile - you might want to remove it!)
