Ingredients

2 Tablespoons oil (peanut, canola, avocado, or other neutral high-heat oil)
150 grams about 6-8 cups kale, leaves cut into bite size pieces (see note on stems)
250 grams 8 ounces brown or white mushrooms, trimmed and sliced
150 grams red onion, sliced (1/2 a large onion)
1.5 Tb balsamic vinegar
1.5 Tb soy sauce
Salt and black pepper to taste (as needed)

Steps

Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet.
Add onion and mushrooms. Spread them out and let them sit for 2 minutes before stirring. Continue to cook and stir until onion is just translucent and mushroom is just tender, about 5 more minutes.
Add the kale leaves and stir well. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the kale leaves are bright green and just tender enough to eat. Turn off the heat and stir in the balsamic vinegar and soy sauce. Stir well and allow the liquid to reduce for about 30 seconds.
Serve immediately.

Absoloutely loved this recipe! Now that I've done it once, I'll know how to tweak it to my own liking, if only very slightly! Even small things like the trimming of kale from the stalk (I'd bought mine ready chipped from a local supermarket, not the same!) and I put my total ingredients with cold duck breast cooked from the night before, and added baby skin on roasted potatoes, to leave the spuds in the Airfryer for just a few minutes more. Just simple things, and that sauce was unbelievably good!!
