This is a wonderful salad with its finely sliced dark green leaves, crunchy breadcrumbs, pine nuts, and beans for colour and texture. Great on its own or with grilled meat and Andrea says it’s terrific with a classic Aussie barbecue!

Ingredients

1 bunch kale (Chinese broccoli is a good substitute), leaves only
3 tbsp olive oil
1 garlic clove, cut in half
½ cup fresh breadcrumbs (preferably from Portuguese cornbread or a good sourdough)
½ cup pine nuts
¾ cup cooked black-eyed beans
salt and pepper

Preparation

Wash the kale and pat dry. Place the leaves on top of each other and roll up into a tight cylinder. Use a sharp knife to shred the leaves very, very finely.

Heat the oil in a frying pan. Throw in the garlic and fry briefly to flavour the oil, then remove. Add the breadcrumbs and fry until golden brown. Add the kale, pine nuts and black-eyed beans and toss until heated through. Season with salt and pepper.

Yum!
I make this all the time, it's the best way to use a bunch of greens! I've used silverbeet, spinach, kale, broccoli leaves, and they all work well in this. Its very tasty and i like it with a bit of sweet chili sauce at the end :)
