Ingredients
  • 8 cups lacinato kale (a.k.a. Tuscan or dino kale, chopped)
  • 1 large shallot (or about ½ cup sliced)
  • ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
  • ¼ cup avocado oil, divided in half
  • ½ tsp salt
  • tsp ground nutmeg
  • ¼ cup pine nuts (optional topping)
Instructions
  1. Break the shallot slices apart with your fingers so you have separate rings.
  2. Heat a pan to medium-low heat. Add ½ half of the avocado oil (2 Tbsp) and let it heat up for about 30-60 seconds. Add the shallots, toss to coat them in the oil and cook for 1 minute, or until softened. Add the balsamic vinegar and toss until all of the shallots are well coated. Cook another 4 minutes, or until the shallots have softened and the balsamic vinegar has reduced.
  3. Add the kale and remaining 2 Tbsp of avocado oil. Toss, sprinkle with salt and nutmeg and toss again to combine. Cook about 3 minutes, tossing occasionally.
  4. Serve warm. Top with ¼ cup pine nuts, if you'd like.
