Kale with Pine Nuts

You see a lot of kale at Christmastime in grocery stores, and I try to use ingredients that are seasonal. I wanted to lightly stir-fry kale, toast some pine nuts with it, and add a tablespoon or two of yogurt. The strong flavour of the dark, cabbage-like kale together with the pine nuts smells and tastes like winter. The dish looks like a pine tree and is hearty and warming.

I served this as a side dish with mezzaluna pasta stuffed with pumpkin and pine nuts. That was store-bought, because I simply don’t have the time to make fresh pasta. But maybe one day...

Ingredients:
150 g kale
oil
1 tsp sugar or honey
pinch sea salt
50 g pine nuts
Greek yogurt, if desired

Instructions:
1. Lightly stir-fry the kale in the oil. After a minute or two, add the sugar or honey and the sea salt. Continue to stir-fry while stirring for another few minutes.
2. Add the pine nuts and a touch more oil if needed. Toast until golden brown.
3. Serve with a dollop of yogurt, if desired.
