kcalIngredients
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 Tbsp honey
4 cloves garlic, divided
2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, divided
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
4 stemmed portobello mushrooms
1/2 thinly sliced red onion
Pinch red pepper flakes
6 cups thinly sliced kale
Directions
- Marinate the Portobellos: In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, honey, 2 cloves of minced garlic, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Place the portobello mushrooms in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let them marinate for 15-20 minutes, flipping once to ensure they soak up the flavors.
- Roast the Portobellos: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the marinated portobellos on a baking sheet, gill-side up. Roast for 15-20 minutes, or until tender and slightly browned.
- Sauté the Kale: While the mushrooms roast, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced red onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the remaining 2 minced garlic cloves and a pinch of red pepper flakes, cooking for another 1-2 minutes. Add the kale and sauté until wilted, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve: Divide the sautéed kale onto plates and top with the roasted portobello mushrooms. Drizzle any remaining marinade from the baking sheet over the dish and serve warm.
