Massaged Kale
Massaged Kale with Lemon and Pine Nuts is an easy and flavorful way to prepare Tuscan kale. The kale is massaged in oil, garlic and anchovies until tender.
Yield: 4 servings 1x
Prep: 15 minsCook: 10 minsTotal: 25 minutes
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons pine nuts
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh garlic, minced
- 1/2 can anchovies (1 ounce), oil from can discarded
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 1/2 teaspoon nutritional yeast (to keep this recipe Whole30 compliant), or grated Parmesan cheese
- 10 cups trimmed from ribs and washed Tuscan kale, cut into pieces, see note above
Instructions
- Toast pine nuts in a dry pan over medium heat for five minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
- In a medium sauté pan, over medium heat, place oil and garlic and sauté for one minute.
- Add anchovies and break up the anchovies into the oil. Cook for five minutes.
- Remove from the heat, add lemon juice, stir and cool.
- To assemble, place washed and trimmed kale in a large bowl.
- Top with oil mixture and with your hands, massage the oil mixture into the kale. The kale will start to break down and within a few minutes, almost look like it was cooked.
- To serve, top with toasted pine nuts and nutritional yeast or Parmesan cheese.

Notes
The easiest way I have found to clean Tuscan kale from the stem is to hold the stem in one hand while running your fingers of the other hand down the rib while pulling the leaves off. You should be left with the rib in one hand and the leaves in another.
