Preparing kale this way feels a little more summery to me than some of my other kale recipes. Maybe it’s the name! Kale grows year round but in the summer it has a stronger flavor. The tang of lemon zest and the sweetness of raisins meld well with the more robust flavor of summer kale.

2 tablespoons pine nuts
Olive oil
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 bunch of kale or other fresh greens, chopped and steamed lightly
2 tablespoons raisins
Crushed red pepper
Zest of 1 lemon
Salt and fresh black pepper
Grated Parmesan cheese

Toast pine nuts in a little olive oil until they begin to golden. Add garlic and kale or other greens. Sauté for a few minutes. Add raisins and sauté another minute. Add red pepper, lemon zest, salt and fresh pepper. Top with grated Parmesan before serving.
