Kale sweetened with raisins and onions-packed with Vitamins K, A, and C outstanding food for dental, heart, and diabetic health
Ingredients
  • 1 head of kale (we used curly)
  • 1 cup of onions
  • ½ tbsp of olive oil
  • 3 tbsp yellow raisins
  • 1 tbsp garlic, minced
  • ⅛ tsp salt
  • pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp citrus vinegar
Instructions
  1. Place raisins into a container and cover with hot water. Let sit for about 5-10 minutes until plump, drain and set aside
  2. Separate the kale leaves from the stem. An easy way to do this is to fold the leaves in half and the stem will pop up. Pinch it and rib, it'll separate easily
  3. Chop the leaves to the bite size you like
  4. Add oil to pan (you only need a smidge) and saute onion until soft and translucent
  5. Add in kale greens, a few handfuls at a time (they will cook down so much you'll be surprised if you've never done this before) cooking until wilted but still vibrant green, adding in a little water if needed
  6. Add in garlic and raisins at the very end-to maintain garlic's health benefits
  7. Enjoy as a side dish or as a mix-in with lentils or other complex protein
