Method

Line a plate with nonstick baking paper. Dry-fry the pecans in a frying pan over a medium heat for 3 mins or until lightly toasted. Add the butter, a pinch of salt and the honey and toss to coat the nuts for 1 min, as the honey and butter melt and they become sticky. Transfer to the prepared plate.
Whisk the lime juice, sesame oil, soy sauce, crushed chillies and olive oil together; season.
Remove any tough woody stems from the curly kale. Quarter and core the apples and finely slice. Add the kale and apples to a bowl and pour over the dressing, scrunching together to thoroughly coat. Roughly chop the sticky pecans and scatter over to serve.
