Description

Sweet caramelized onions and earthy kale make a healthy, flavorful side. A simple weeknight dish with big taste!


Ingredients

Units
  • 3 tbsp oil
  • 2 medium sized red onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp (15 g) freshly grated ginger
  • 1 1/2 tsp freshly ground cumin
  • 1 tsp red cayenne pepper
  • 4 cups (946 ml) of freshly chopped kale
  • 2 tbsp (30 g) raisins

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil on medium-low heat (approximately 1 minute), then add the onions and cook until softened, curled, and golden brown (10-12 minutes).
  2. Remove about half of the onions using a slotted spoon.
  3. Add the ginger and cook for another minute.
  4. Add the cumin and cayenne pepper; mix well.
  5. Add the kale and stir until wilted.
  6. Stir in the raisins and cook until heated through.
  7. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Notes

  • For deeper caramelization, cook the onions uncovered and be patient; it takes time to achieve that rich sweetness.
  • If you don’t have fresh ginger, use 1 teaspoon of ground ginger instead, but the fresh ginger offers a superior flavor.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; the flavors meld beautifully overnight.
