Ingredients

  • 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 large garlic cloves minced
  • 12 ounces button mushrooms
  • ¼ cup low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1 bunch curly leaf kale
  • Kosher salt to taste

Instructions

  • Prep the vegetables. Wash the kale leaves and separate them from the stems.  Tear the kale leaves into medium-sized pieces using your hands.  Wipe the mushrooms clean with a damp towel and remove the stems.  Chop the mushrooms into thin slices.  Discard the kale and mushroom stems. 
  • Heat the pan. Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet with deep sides.  Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms.  
  • Cook the garlic and mushrooms. Sauté the garlic and mushrooms over medium heat for about 3-5 minutes.  The mushrooms will absorb the olive oil and temporarily stick to the pan.  This will only last about a minute.  As the mushrooms cook, they will start to sweat out moisture, which will deglaze the pan. 
  • Add the kale. Add the vegetable broth and the kale to the mushrooms and garlic.  Cover the pan and let the kale steam.  Steam the kale for about 30 seconds, open the pan, give the kale a good stir, and cover again.  Repeat this process a few times until the kale has finished cooking.  The kale will be fully cooked in about 3 minutes. 
  • Add salt to taste. Once the kale has finished steaming/sautéing, remove your dish from the heat.  Add a pinch of kosher salt to taste.  Serve immediately and enjoy!
