Kale with Pickled Shallots

This vibrant dish of kale with pickled shallots offers a sophisticated twist on everyday greens. By quickly steeping shallots in a sharp red-wine vinegar dressing, you create a bright, acidic contrast that perfectly balances the earthy notes of the kale. It is an excellent way to introduce more texture and zing to your plate, proving that simple vegetable sides can often be the star of the show.

As a low-sugar recipe, this preparation is both heart-healthy and light, making it a versatile accompaniment to roasted meats or plant-based mains. The kale is cooked until just tender, retaining its deep colour and nutritional value. Serve it warm as a nourishing side dish for a Sunday roast or a quick, healthy weeknight dinner.
