Make the dressing and cook the carrots a few hours ahead. Reheat to serve.
Warm the vinegar in a small pan, add the raisins and soak for 5 minutes. Strain off the vinegar into a small bowl. Add the chilli, pine nuts and 1 tablespoon of the oil to the raisins in the pan. Cook gently until the pine nuts begin to colour, then add the orange juice and strained vinegar. Warm through and set aside.
Trim and scrub the carrots (halve lengthways or quarter if using larger carrots). Heat the remaining olive oil in a large frying pan and add the carrots, tossing them in the oil. Fry for 10-15 minutes or until just tender and deep golden; give them a stir or shuffle the pan every few minutes so they cook evenly. Remove from the pan, season with salt and keep warm under foil. Add the kale to the pan with 2 tablespoons of water and seasoning. Cover and steam-fry for 3-5 minutes until wilted, bright green and just tender. Remove.
