I make this at least twice a week for my family. It is a super easy and yummy way for us to get a good dose of our dark leafy greens. Macadamia nut oil is also good in place of grapeseed if you have it.

Ingredients

Original recipe yields 4 servings

The ingredient list now reflects the servings specified

1 teaspoon grapeseed oil
1 onion, diced
½ cup sliced shiitake mushrooms

1 tablespoon butter

½ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

Directions

Step 1

Heat oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Cook and stir onion, mushrooms, and garlic in hot oil until the mushrooms are soft, about 5 minutes.

Step 2

Switch heat off and add kale to the wok; cook and stir in the hot wok until the kale is bright green, about 5 minutes. Season kale mixture with nutmeg and stir.

Cook's Note:

For a more saucy mixture add 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable stock.

If you don't have shiitake mushrooms you can substitute any type of mushroom.

A nice addition to this dish is pine nuts; add them when you first start so they roast a little.

This is definitely a do-again recipe. The pic with it shows pasta but none in the ingredients and I made it exactly except used veg oil in place of grapeseed oil. I used shitake mushrooms as it called for but they seemed a bit overwhelmed with the other flavors. Next time I'll use plain shite or portabellas - cheaper and I think will be as good. My first foray into kale too - liked it! Read More

This is the only way I have made kale so far and liked it. I followed direction closely but not exact. Just used regular oil. Anyway as long as you don't change it too much you can't go wrong with this recipe. Read More

This is a very tasty and versatile recipe! I used portobello mushrooms that I had on hand. Also used balsamic vinegar and a little less nutmeg. I love using a big wok for stirfrying leafy greens. Update: I tried using sherry instead of red wine vinegar also added some julienned carrots for color. I finish with a generous squirt of balsamic reduction a sprinkle of goat cheese and serve over brown rice. Read More

This was spectacular! I wonder why it doesn't have 1000 five-star reviews! Two things: the recipe calls for one 'bunch' of kale. Different varieties had different sized bunches and my bunch was a little small. There were only two of us and we gobbled it up! My advice is to double the recipe for four servings. Read More

Delicious! Served with Heinen's spinach and feta salmon burgers. Added Greek Freak seasoning and squeezed fresh lemon juice on it after it was at the table. Read More

Slight variation to the recipe - leave out the butter & salt, and I used mushroom/sage infused olive oil instead of grapeseed oil, white wine instead of vinegar. I used red kale, but next time will use organic baby kale, as the vegetable was a bit too tough. Read More

I made this recipe with baby kale and coconut oil instead of grapeseed since I didn't have any and just realized I omitted the nutmeg. My husband loved it and asked for more and he has never asked for more of a veggie before. Read More
