Russian Red Kale with Cranberries and Red Onion

Succulent kale leaves sweetened with dried cranberries are a pleasing Old and New World cross. Unfortunately, the promise of “red” is deceptive, for the color greens in cooking. But the pinky punctuation of vinegared red onion and the berries brighten the whole. The rugged kale can play a role in an all-vegetable meal, or accompany grilled sausages, pork, or turkey— smoked or not.
