Winter Kale with Golden Raisins Salad Recipe


Craving some winter kale but don’t know how to get it into your diet? Don’t worry what you need is right below in 4 easy steps

Winter Kale with Golden Raisins
What you need to make it happen:
1 bunch of Dinosaur Kale (washed, de-stemmed, and coarsely chopped)
1 medium onion (finely chopped)
4 garlic cloves (sliced)
2-3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
½ cup of golden raisins
2 tablespoons of seasoned organic rice vinegar (I personally recommend this brand) 
¼ cup chicken broth
1 teaspoon dry thyme
(bonus sea salt and pepper to taste)

Partner in Crime (serve with) :
Rice or quinoa

How to make it happen:
Step 1: In a medium sauce pan, sauté the finely chopped onions and 4 sliced garlic cloves in olive oil on low to medium heat.  Season with thyme, salt and pepper to taste and let ingredients cook until they are pillow soft (On Chef Mike’s clock that’s about 3 minutes!).

Step 2: Add the 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar, ¼ cup of chicken broth, and ½ cup of golden raisins to the mix, throw on the top and let the ingredients simmer for 1 minute. 

Step 3: Remove the top and add your star ingredient Dinosaur Kale to the top of the mixture, replace the top and cook at medium heat until the Kale is wilted and bright green. 



Step 4: Toss ingredients in the pan and serve with rice or quinoa.

Serves 2-4 people, if you have any questions please ask away!

cheers! Chef Mike
