Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 500 grams cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 3 units garlic cloves, minced
• 200 grams kale, stems removed and leaves chopped
• 125 milliliters red wine (dry, such as Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon)
• 125 milliliters low-sodium vegetable broth
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes (optional)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat until the butter is melted and begins to foam.

Step 2

Add the sliced cremini mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and have released their moisture.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Step 4

Gradually add the kale to the skillet, tossing to combine with the mushrooms. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the kale begins to wilt.

Step 5

Pour in the red wine and vegetable broth, stirring well. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 6

Season with salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Continue to simmer for 5-7 minutes, until the liquid reduces slightly and the flavors meld together.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Remove the skillet from heat.

Step 8

Garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy as a light main course with crusty bread or over a bed of rice.
