Tuscan Kale with Brown Butter, Pecans and Golden Raisins
The recipe below makes more than enough of chef Anne Kearney's Spiced Pecans for this dish. Not to worry. They're fantastic for snacking or sprinkling on salad. Tuscan kale, sometimes called dinosaur or lacinato kale, has darker, smoother leaves than curly. It also has a more tender texture.
