WINTER GREENS WITH MARINATED MUSHROOMS
AND WALNUTS
This is also from Cooking the Whole Foods Way. How could I ever give a
party without using recipes from Christina's cookbooks? I feel very
lucky that she wrote them and that I own them!
2 to 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
pinch sea salt
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 or 5 button mushrooms, brushed clean and quartered
3 to 4 tablespoons walnut pieces
1 bunch hearty greens (kale, collards, broccoli rapini), large stems
removed
Whisk together vinegar, salt, garlic, and olive oil in a bowl. Add
mushrooms and stir to coat. Allow to marinate 1 hour.
Meanwhile, lightly pan-toast the walnuts over medium heat until
fragrant, about 3 minutes. Finely mince and set aside to cool. Leaving
the greens whole, quickly steam them until they are a dark, rich green,
about 5 minutes. Slice the greens into bit-size pieces. Just before
serving, toss the greens, walnuts, mushrooms, and remaining marinade
together. Serve immediately.
