Preparation

  • Pick kale leaves from stems and wash thoroughly; discard stems. Thinly slice yellow onion.
  • Melt butter in Sauté Pan over medium-high heat. Add onions; cook 1–2 min until slightly soft.
  • Add kale to pan; cover and cook 3 min.
  • Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix seasoning and aioli mix (if using), with salt, vinegar, and water. Pour over greens; cook uncovered 8–10 min, stirring occasionally. Greens are ready when they are tender and most of the liquid has evaporated.
