For a vegetarian option, omit the ham and add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat. To toast the slivered almonds, spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly golden, watching carefully to prevent burning. Feel free to substitute other dried fruits, such as cherries or apricots, for the cranberries. Massaging the kale before cooking can help to tenderize it and reduce bitterness. Simply rub the chopped kale with a tablespoon of olive oil for a few minutes before adding it to the skillet.
