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
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven, then sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about a minute, then remove and place in a small bowl.
- While the olive oil is heating up in the Dutch oven, melt the butter in a large frying pan. Cook the mushrooms in two batches so the pan isn't overcrowded, or the mushrooms will sweat. Add the mushrooms and cook over medium-high heat until the mushrooms are golden brown and any liquid has evaporated.
- Once the sautéed garlic is done, stir in the greens 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 the sautéed kale from the heat and season with salt, black pepper, and white wine vinegar. Add the sautéed mushrooms and garlic and toss until well combined. Serve as a side dish or mixed in with rotini or orzo pasta.
Notes
- Save time by using kale that is pre-cut and pre-washed.
- Try different kinds of vinegar or oil for different flavors.
- Want it spicy? Add red pepper flakes with the garlic.
- Try other add-ins such as bacon, Parmesan cheese, or onions.
- Make this a meal by serving the sautéed kale and mushrooms over pasta.
