Ingredients
  

For the kale

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small red onion sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic chopped
  • 500 g kale roughly chopped
  • 6 sundried tomatoes chopped
  • 60 ml water
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • ½ lemon juiced
  • salt and pepper to taste

For the pine nuts

  • 50 g pine nuts

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oil in a large pan or wok over a medium-low heat. Add the onions and garlic, and cook for 5 minutes until softened and golden.
  • Add the kale and the sundried tomatoes to the pan. Stir to combine, then add the water. Turn the heat up to medium-high, cover, and leave for 3 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, add the pine nuts to a small pan over a medium heat. Toast, stirring frequently, until golden brown.
  • After 3 minutes, remove the cover from the kale. Add the apple cider vinegar, lemon and season well. Stir over the heat for 1 minute to remove excess moisture.
  • Serve immediately topped with the toasted pine nuts.

Notes

NOTE ON PINE NUTS: You don't have to use pie nuts in this recipe if you have a tree nut allergy or they are not accessible. Try toasted sunflower seeds instead for a great crunch.
