Wilted Kale with Cherries - 29g Carbs, 4g Fiber, 9g Sugar

From: www.wholefoodsmarket.com
Cherries add a touch of sweetness to thinly sliced kale quickly
wilted in apple juice. It's an unexpected pairing but the flavors
blend well to make a filling vegetarian side dish.
Serves: 4

2 shallots, thinly sliced
1/2 cup apple juice, divided
1 cup fresh cherries, pitted and quartered
1 large bunch kale (about 3/4 lb), stems and tough ribs
removed, leaves thinly sliced
1/4 cup toasted chopped walnuts

Heat a large high-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallots
and cook until they just start to stick to the pan, about 3 minutes,
stirring frequently. Add 1/4 cup apple juice and cook 2 minutes longer.
Stir in cherries, remaining apple juice and kale. Cover and reduce heat
to medium. Cook 3 to 4 minutes or just until kale is wilted. Remove
from heat and stir in walnuts.
