  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 1/4 pound cremini mushrooms, trimmed and quartered (about 14 mushrooms)
  • 1 1/2 pounds green beans, trimmed and slice into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup white wine
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • ½ pound kale, coarsely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (about 1/2 a lemon)
  • 3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

Heat olive oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat.
Add onions and cook until translucent, about 4 minutes.
Add mushrooms, green beans, salt, and pepper and cook for 2 minutes.
Add wine and continue cooking until the green beans are almost tender.
Add red pepper flakes and kale.
Continue cooking until the kale has wilted, about 4 to 5 minutes.

Toss to coat and serve.
