Ingredients
 

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 teaspoons garlic, minced (about 6 cloves)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 pound button mushrooms, quartered
  • 1 pound kale, rinsed and cut into pieces
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken stock
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 ½ tablespoons white wine vinegar
US Imperial - Metric

Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven, then sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about a minute.
  • While the olive oil is heating up in the Dutch oven, melt the butter in a large frying pan.  Add the mushrooms and cook over medium high heat until the mushrooms are golden brown and all the liquid has evaporated.
  • Once the garlic is done, stir in the kale a little at a time.  Pour in the chicken stock, cover, and cook for 5 minutes over medium high heat.  The kale will significantly reduce in volume and will turn a bright green.
  • Uncover the pot and cook for another minute, or until the chicken stock has evaporated.
  • Remove from the heat and season with salt, black pepper, and white wine vinegar.  Add the mushrooms and toss until well combined.  Serve as a side dish or mixed in with orzo pasta.

Notes

  • Use kale that is pre-cut and pre-washed to save time.
  • Swap out different kinds of vinegars or oils for a slight variation.

    The kale is chewy and the vinegar adds a pop of sweet and sour. It has an indescribably good flavor with the garlic!
