Mushroom And Kale Breakfast Skillet Recipes

SMOTHERED MUSHROOMS AND KALE

Steps:

• Heat a medium skillet with extra-virgin olive oil and butter over medium to medium-high heat. When fat is hot, add garlic and mushrooms and place a lid which is too small for the skillet down into the pan, pressing and smothering the mushrooms. Cook 7 to 8 minutes, stirring once, then wilt the kale into the pan, turning it with tongs to combine with mushrooms. Smother the greens for 1 to 2 minutes, then deglaze the pan with Marsala and season the mixture with salt and pepper, to taste.

MUSHROOM AND KALE PAELLA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a 12-inch paella pan or ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the mushrooms, tossing occasionally, until they release their liquid and are slightly brown, 4 to 6 minutes. Add the onion, bell pepper, poblano and garlic, and cook, stirring constantly, until they soften, about 3 minutes; season with salt and pepper.
• Add the rice and cook, stirring constantly, until the rice is translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the wine and cook, stirring, until completely evaporated, about 2 minutes. Return the mushrooms to the pan, stir in the 1 teaspoon thyme, and add enough mushroom stock just to cover the rice; season with salt and pepper. Cook, without stirring, adding more stock as needed to keep the rice moist while cooking, until the rice is al dente and all the liquid is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. (Shake the pan after each addition of stock to distribute it evenly.)
• Continue to cook the paella, occasionally moving the pan around the burner to make sure all areas get evenly heated, until a crust (socarrat) forms around the sides and bottom of the pan (the rice will smell toasted and make a light crackling sound), 6 to 8 minutes.
• Make 4 shallow divots on the surface of the paella and crack an egg into each divot. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake until the egg whites are just set, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the kale, season with salt and pepper, and cook, tossing, until slightly wilted. Add 1/4 cup water to the skillet and cook, tossing, until the kale is completely wilted, about 5 minutes longer.
• Arrange the kale around the eggs, drizzle with the Calabrian chile oil and sprinkle with the parsley. Serve the paella in the pan.
• Place porcini mushrooms in a medium heatproof bowl and cover with the boiling water; let sit 30 minutes. Line a fine-mesh sieve with 2 layers of paper towel and set over another medium heatproof bowl; pour mushroom mixture through, letting the towels catch any grit from the mushrooms. Set aside the porcini mushrooms and their soaking liquid.
• Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook the onion, carrot, and celery, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the cremini mushrooms, parsley, thyme, peppercorns, salt, reserved porcini mushrooms and their soaking liquid, and 6 cups cold water. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 30 minutes.
• Strain the stock into a clean saucepan and keep warm over low heat (you should have about 6 cups). Stock can be made 4 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Reheat before using.
• Combine the chiles, oil and thyme in a blender and blend until smooth; season with salt and pepper. Can be made a few days in advance, tightly covered and refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before using.

DELICIOUS CREAMED KALE WITH MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir kale and shallot until kale is tender, about 5 minutes. Stir mushrooms, cream, Asiago cheese, garlic, salt, and black pepper into kale mixture. Reduce heat to low and simmer until cream has thickened and mushrooms are tender, about 10 minutes.

CHEESY KALE BREAKFAST CASSEROLE

Steps:

• If you're planning to bake this immediately, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. If you're prepping this the day before, no need to preheat now.
• In a skillet (or 4-quart braiser that you can put in the oven), heat the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Combine the sourdough, mozzarella, Gruyere and kale with the buttery onion mixture, either in a 9-by-13-inch casserole dish or in the braiser.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, cream, mustard, salt, nutmeg, eggs, thyme, hot sauce and a bunch of turns of pepper. Pour into the casserole dish over the bread mixture. Top with another little sprinkle of Gruyere. Cover with foil and bake immediately or refrigerate up to 24 hours.
• Bake, covered, for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue to bake until browned on top and set throughout, about another 30 minutes.

KALE AND MUSHROOM SIDE

Steps:

• Heat oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Cook and stir onion, mushrooms, and garlic in hot oil until the mushrooms are soft, about 5 minutes. Add butter and vinegar to the mushroom mixture; season with salt and pepper. Toss mushroom mixture in the wok until the butter melts and coats everything, about 1 minute.
• Switch heat off and add kale to the wok; cook and stir in the hot wok until the kale is bright green, about 5 minutes. Season kale mixture with nutmeg and stir.

MUSHROOM AND KALE STIR-FRY OVER NAVY BEANS

Steps:

• Combine navy beans, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, and chile flakes in a blender. Blend until smooth and set aside.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and cook until golden brown, about 9 minutes. Transfer mushrooms to a bowl.
• Melt remaining tablespoon of butter in the skillet. Add kale and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until wilted, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Add mushrooms back to the skillet and toss to combine.
• Divide bean mixture between 2 serving plates. Top with mushroom and kale mixture.
