I had this at a restaurant in San Diego and fell in love. I searched the internet to try and find a recipe but could not, so I attempted it on my own and, voila! I got it! You can use walnuts or other nuts if you prefer.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • ½ cup cashews

  • ½ cup white sugar

  • 1 bunch kale, cut into thin ribbons

  • 5 tablespoons soy sauce

  • ½ cup raisins

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

  2. Spread cashews onto a baking sheet.

  3. Toast cashews in preheated oven until browned, about 5 minutes.

  4. Pour sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat while the cashews are toasting; cook and stir until melted. As soon as it is melted and the nuts are done toasting, pour the nuts in the saucepan; stir to coat. Spread cashews onto baking sheet to cool completely, about 15 minutes.

  5. Massage kale and soy sauce together in a bowl until kale softens. Fold raisins and sugar-coated cashews into the kale.

  6. Refrigerate 30 minutes before serving.
