Kale. Yet another vegetable I never encountered during the first 20 years of my life. It’s supposedly one of the healthiest things you can eat, with few calories and lots of vitamins, minerals and proteins. Eating kale requires a bit more mastication than your average dark green, but it’s a refreshing alternative to boring old spinach.
Braised Kale with Tomato and Mushroom
1 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, sliced
red pepper flake
1 bunch kale (remove hard stems)
1 medium tomato, cut into chunks
2 large white mushrooms, sliced
2 cups beef broth
garlic powder
1. Heat the oil over medium high heat in a large saucepan, preferably with high sides. Add the garlic and red pepper flake.
2. Once the garlic is fragrant, add the mushrooms and tomatoes. When the mushrooms have begun to sweat, add the beef broth and some of the kale. Wait until the kale has wilted before adding more. Cook until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 20 minutes. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper and enjoy!
