Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Savory Sweet Kale with Cranberries and Almonds.
Step 1
Start by heating the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, toss in the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté them together until the onion becomes soft and translucent, which should take about 5 minutes. This step is crucial as it builds the flavor base for your dish.
Step 2
Next, stir in the Dijon mustard, white sugar, cider vinegar, and chicken broth. Bring this mixture to a lively boil over high heat, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 3
Once boiling, add the kale to the pot. Cover it and let it cook for about 5 minutes, or until the kale is wilted and tender. The vibrant green color will be a feast for your eyes!
Step 4
After the kale has wilted, stir in the dried cranberries. Continue to boil the mixture uncovered, allowing it to reduce until the liquid has thickened by about half and the cranberries have softened, which should take around 15 minutes. This will create a lovely sweet and savory sauce that clings to the kale.
Step 5
Finally, season your dish with salt and pepper to taste. Just before serving, sprinkle the sliced almonds on top for a delightful crunch. Enjoy this dish warm, and savor the wonderful combination of flavors!
