Kale with Lemon-Balsamic Butter

Used low sugar dried cranberries instead of raisins and steamed the kale. Otherwise followed the recipe exactly. My husband hates kale and refuses to eat it. I finally convinced him to try this and he really liked it. I thought it was delicious!

I used olive oil instead of butter so I didn't brown it which may be why I didn't think it was 5 stars. This is a good solid recipe but would have been better if I had used a little less balsamic vinegar, maybe only one tbsp would be enough. Overall a very good and healthy side dish.

This was really, really good. Definitely one of the best recipes for kale I've ever tried. I steamed it instead of boiling it, like other reviewers, and it was perfect. This will become my go to kale for certain.

Yummy. Do not over cook the kale. I had two bunches of kale so I halved th other ingredients except the raisins. I put 1/3 cup of yellow raisins because I had them on hand. I used a small cast iron pot to make the butter mixture. It was a little hard to see when the butter was brown but I did not burn the butter which is easy to do. If you use 4 bunches it will make an enormous amount. Two bunches was plenty for the two of us for several days. Have made it several times. It is good unless the kale is over cooked. I would also recommend not using bagged kale because it has big stems and they are tough. If you only do four minutes then drain well or the sauce becomes watered down and loses its flavor.

A very tasty way to enjoy kale - I would use a little less balsamic and a little more butter next time, but the raisins were a wonderful partner for the leafy greens.Served with baked potatoes, cornbread, and acorn squash.
