Kale with Baby Carrots Cranberries and Pine Nuts

Hello everyone, here is a fast and easy recipe for kale which I created a while back. I am always trying to find ways to eat kale that make it taste good. When cooked badly it can be unpleasant, but when cooked well can really be lovely. I know if you are a follower in the UK it is hard to find kale that hasn't already been chopped up, but if you can this will work much better. It is important to cut the stem out of kale as it is hard and difficult to chew.
