  • 5 oz. package baby kale or 1 bunch lacinato kale (julienned)
  • 1/2 heaping teaspoon thyme, herbes de provence, rosemary or Italian blend
  • pinch of red pepper flakes, optional
  • mineral salt & fresh cracked pepper, to taste

  2. In same pot, heat olive oil over medium heat, add onions and cook 4 minutes, add garlic, mushrooms and herbs, optional red pepper flakes, salt and pepper, cook over medium heat until mushrooms start to release moisture, about 4 – 5 minutes.
