Steamed Kale With Mushroom Medley

1. 1

   A nice rough cut of the Kale with a butchers nice is fine. I slightly roll the bunch, then cut in quick slices about 1 1/2 in thick.

2. 2

   Spread the Kale on the bottom of your steamer. Not to thickly, or the bottom will get over cooked before the top is ready.

3. 3

   Slice the garlic and shallots, thinly and sprinkle on top of the Kale. At this point, I generally add a little pepper, salt, and parsley. Then move on to the mushrooms.

4. 4

   Slice the mushrooms thinly, and add over top of garlic, shallots, and Kale. Then add any remaining Kale. Cover.

5. 5

   Steam. If everything went to plan, the water for the steamer would have just started boiling, while you were placing the mushrooms on the mix. Once the mix is covered, steam for 3-5 minutes.

6. 6

   I like the Kale on top to turn a bright green, but still retain some firmness. The bottom layer of Kale will become darker and softer. It generally takes under 5 minutes for the top Kale to turn a bright green and sweat a little.
