- 4 Tablespoons olive oil
- 4 ounces sliced button mushrooms
- 5 ounces baby kale
- 1 Tablespoon butter or ghee
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/2 cup red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- salt and pepper, to taste
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium high heat; add sliced mushrooms and saute until brown (without moving or messing with them), approximately 4-5 minutes.
Flip the mushrooms; add the kale on top of the mushrooms, and let the baby kale wilt, stirring frequently approximately 2-3 minutes.
Stir in kidney beans, butter, garlic and salt and pepper. Continue to cook for an additional 30 seconds to a minute or until everything is fragrant and hot.
