I’m still loving kale and having fun figuring out different ways to incorporate it into my meals.  This dresses it up quite a bit and tastes flavorful and rich.  It’s a hearty side dish, that pairs well with most protein.

Creamed Mushrooms with Kale

• 1 lb mushrooms, sliced
• 1 lb kale, washed and chopped
• 1/4 cup olive oil/butter
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup broth
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1/2 cup cashew cream or heavy cream
• 1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese (opt)

1. Heat a large saucepan with the olive oil or butter.  (I  like to use a little bit of both)
2. Add your mushrooms and garlic. Saute for about 2-3 minutes.
3. Mix in your chopped kale.  Season with salt and pepper.
4. Add broth.  Saute until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
5. Stir in vinegar.  Remove from heat.
6. Add the cream and parmesan cheese.
7. Serve warm.  Top with extra parmesan cheese.
