Method

Step 1

Blanch the kale for 3 minutes in boiling water, then drain well and roughly chop. Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a large frying pan and cook the shallots until soft and light golden. Add the garlic and cook for a couple of minutes, then add the raisins and pine nuts. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the nuts take on a bit of colour, then add the sherry vinegar and turn up the heat. Let the vinegar reduce a little, then stir in the kale and a knob of butter. Toss until heated through completely.
