Servings4
1.5 tablespoons olive oil
sliced onion
minced garlic
butter
parmesan cheese
chicken stock
kale
salt

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast adds flavor without dairy

1

Heat 1.5 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

2

Add sliced onion to the skillet and cook until soft, adding a pinch of salt to draw out moisture.

3

Once the onions are soft, add kale to the skillet, filling it up as it will cook down significantly.

4

Mix the kale with the onions and let it cook down for a moment.

5

Add minced garlic to the kale and mix it in, avoiding sautéing it to prevent bitterness.

6

Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the kale.

7

Pour in about half a cup of chicken stock and mix it in, then cover the skillet with a lid.

8

Let the kale cook for 2-3 minutes until tender and most of the liquid is gone.

9

Remove the lid and check the kale; if the stems need more cooking, let it cook for an extra minute.

10

Turn off the heat and move the kale to one side of the skillet.

11

Add 2-3 tablespoons of butter and about 2-3 tablespoons of parmesan cheese to the empty side of the skillet.

12

Mix the butter and parmesan together until homogeneous, then toss it with the kale to combine.
