Sautéed Kale with Garlic, Shallots, and Capers

This vibrant sautéed kale with garlic, shallots and capers is a sophisticated way to enjoy seasonal greens. By briefly blanching the kale before pan-frying, you ensure a tender texture while retaining its deep, earthy flavour and bright colour. The addition of briny capers and softened shallots provides a savoury depth that perfectly balances the bitterness of the leaves, creating a side dish that feels both indulgent and remarkably fresh.

As a heart-healthy choice, this recipe is packed with nutrients and uses heart-friendly olive oil as its primary fat source. It is an excellent accompaniment to grilled fish or roasted chicken, but it also works beautifully as a topping for sourdough toast or stirred through cooked grains. Whether you are looking for a quick weeknight side or a nutritious addition to a Sunday roast, these greens are a versatile staple.
