Ingredients
2 tablespoons pine nuts
1 bunch purple or red kale, stems removed
1 bunch lacinato kale, stems removed
1 oil-packed anchovy fillet, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
Juice of 1 lemon (about 2 tablespoons)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 cup grated Parmesan
Torn fresh purple basil leaves, for garnish
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Spread the pine nuts on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until lightly toasted, about 5 minutes.
- Fill a large bowl or pot with very hot tap water. Add the kale and stir for a few seconds just to slightly soften the leaves. Drain and squeeze well to dry. Gather and stack the kale leaves on top of each other on a cutting board, roll them up and thinly slice.
- Mash the anchovy and garlic to a paste on a cutting board with the flat side of a knife. Transfer to a small bowl and add the lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Whisk in the olive oil.
- Toss the kale with the Parmesan and pine nuts in a salad bowl. Add just enough vinaigrette to coat, tossing well to combine. Top with the basil.
