This simple and flavorful Sautéed Kale and Mushrooms recipe combines tender kale with earthy button mushrooms, cooked in olive oil and garlic, then gently steamed with vegetable broth to create a healthy, quick side dish perfect for any meal.

Ingredients

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vegetables: Wash the kale leaves thoroughly and separate them from the stems. Tear the kale leaves into medium-sized pieces by hand. Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp towel, removing the stems, and slicing them thinly. Discard the stems from both kale and mushrooms.
  2. Heat the Olive Oil and Sauté Garlic and Mushrooms: In a large deep-sided skillet, heat 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Initially, the mushrooms will stick to the pan but as they release moisture, the pan will deglaze.
  3. Add Broth and Kale to Steam: Pour in ¼ cup of vegetable broth and add the kale to the skillet. Cover the pan and allow the kale to steam for about 30 seconds. Stir the kale, cover again, and repeat the steaming process until the kale is tender and cooked through—this will take about 3 minutes total.
  4. Finish and Season: Once the kale has softened and the mushrooms are fully cooked, remove the skillet from heat. Season the dish with a pinch of kosher salt according to your taste. Serve hot and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • Be sure to wash the kale well to remove any grit.
  • Use a large skillet with deep sides to allow space for the kale to steam properly.
  • You can substitute vegetable broth with water for a lighter version.
  • Adjust salt to taste or omit for a low-sodium diet.
  • For added flavor, a squeeze of lemon juice or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes can be added before serving.
