Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup raisins
  • 1 large head of cauliflower  chopped into florets
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion diced
  • 4 cups finely chopped kale
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ cup pine nuts toasted (see note at end of recipe)

Instructions

  • Place raisins in a small bowl and cover with very hot water. Allow to soak until ready to use.
  • Using the shredding attachment on a food processor, shred the cauliflower into rice-like shreds.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the onion and sauté for 5 minutes, until translucent. Add the kale and salt and continue cooking for 3-4 minutes, until the kale is wilted. Add the cauliflower to the pan, increase heat to medium-high, and sauté for about 8 more minutes, until tender. Season with nutmeg and stir in the raisins and pine nuts. Serve warm.

Notes

To toast pine nuts, heat a small skillet over medium-low heat. Add pine nuts and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring often, until lightly browned and fragrant. Remove from heat.
