Kale with Panfried Walnuts

This vibrant vegan side dish celebrates the robust flavour of kale by pairing it with the earthy crunch of toasted nuts. By blanching the leaves before finishing them in a frying pan, you achieve a perfectly tender texture that absorbs the aromatic garlic oil and savoury seasoning. It is a wonderful way to elevate leafy greens, offering a sophisticated balance of textures that works equally well for a quick midweek meal or a formal Sunday roast.

Packed with nutrients, this kale and walnut recipe is an excellent choice for those seeking a plant-based addition to their repertoire. The combination of healthy fats from the walnuts and the iron-rich greens makes it a wholesome accompaniment to roasted root vegetables or a zestier grain salad. For the best results, serve it alongside a crisp white wine such as a dry Gewürztraminer.

Ingredients for Kale with Panfried Walnuts

  • 1.4kg kale, stems and centre ribs discarded

  • 150g chopped walnuts (100g)

  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped

How to make Kale with Panfried Walnuts

Tear kale into large pieces, then cook in a large pot of well-salted boiling water, uncovered, until tender, about 6 minutes. Drain kale, and, when cool enough to handle, press out excess liquid.

Cook walnuts in oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until pale golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook, stirring, until very fragrant, about 1 minute. Add kale and salt and pepper to taste and cook, tossing, until heated through.

Serve kale warm or at room temperature.
