1 close garlic, chopped

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons water

2 tablespoons raisins, soaked in warm water for 10 minutes and drained

2 tablespoons pine nuts, lightly toasted

salt and pepper, to taste

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute the garlic until golden.

Add the kale and sprinkle with water; cover and cook one minute.

Uncover and coo, turning constantly, until leaves are wilted.

Remove skillet from stove and stir in raisins, pine nuts and salt and pepper.
