Equipment
- Knife and cutting board, for prep
- Skillet
- Measuring cups/spoons
- Cheese grater or vegetable peeler, for shaved parmesan
- Jar or container, for mixing glaze
Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 yellow onion cut into thin slices
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 4-6 cups kale cleaned and stems removed
- 1/4 cup chicken or vegetable broth
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- Red pepper flakes optional
- Shaved parmesan optional
Orange & Honey Soy Glaze/Sauce
- 3 Tablespoons honey
- 3 Tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- Zest of the orange
- Juice of 1/2 an orange
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften. Add garlic and cook for 30 more seconds. Carefully add kale to the pan and stir to combine with onions and garlic. Season with salt and pepper and continue to cook for 2-3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium. Add chicken broth to the skillet and cover. Cook for 5-7 minutes. Remove the lid and continue cooking until all of the liquid has reduced down to 1 tablespoon of liquid.
- Combine honey, soy sauce, orange juice and zest in a small bowl or jar and whisk until fully incorporated. Pour onto kale in the skillet and stir to make sure everything is evenly coated. Continue cooking for another minute then remove from the heat. Serve warm or cool and use as a salad base.
Notes
- The amount of orange and honey soy glaze used is totally up to you. If you want to just lightly flavor the kale, then use half of it. If you want a little more sauce left to enjoy with the kale and your other dishes, use all of it.
- You can even make a full jar of the glaze and keep it in the fridge for 2-3 weeks. Use it as a marinade, salad dressing, finishing glaze, whatever!
