Kale with Garlic and Cranberries

This vibrant kale with garlic and cranberries is a sophisticated vegan side dish that balances deep, earthy greens with a hint of natural sweetness. By blanching the kale before sautéing, you ensure the leaves retain their beautiful colour and a tender texture that pairs perfectly with the punchy aroma of softened garlic. It is a fantastic way to elevate simple brassicas into something truly special for the dinner table.

Packed with nutrients and antioxidants, this healthy recipe works wonderfully alongside a nut roast or as a colourful addition to a traditional Sunday lunch. The addition of jewel-like dried cranberries makes it particularly festive, though it is simple enough to prepare for a quick midweek meal. Serve it hot to fully appreciate the contrast between the savoury garlic oil and the chewy, tart fruit.

Ingredients for Kale with Garlic and Cranberries

  • 900g kale (preferably Russian Red), stems and centre ribs discarded and leaves coarsely torn

  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic

  • 80ml olive oil

  • 120ml dried cranberries (60g)

How to make Kale with Garlic and Cranberries

Cook kale in a 6-quart pot of boiling salted water (1 1/2 tablespoons salt for 3.8L water), uncovered, until almost tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain in a colander, then immediately transfer kale to an ice bath to stop cooking. When kale is cool, drain but do not squeeze.

Cook garlic in oil in same pot over medium heat, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add kale, dried cranberries, 3/4 teaspoons salt, and 1/8 teaspoons pepper and cook, tossing frequently with tongs, until kale is heated through and tender, 4 to 6 minutes.
