I've been swimming in this recipe for a few weeks. I keep a healthy supply of kales, mushrooms, onions, celery, and raisins. It's been stuffed in acorn squash and piled high along my holiday leftovers. All to say, this is a keeper and needs to be shared.
It works well as a stuffing or side dish, or make it a meal by adding your favorite protein source. I usually add with quinoa (or use cauliflower rice) along with cranberry sauce and some gravy, and occasionally I add some cooked lentils or white beans to the mix.
You can easily make this ahead of time and reheat at a moment's notice, or prep all the ingredients ahead of time, store them in the refrigerator and then add each ingredient into a large frying pan or saucepan and serve warm.
Kale Mushroom Stuffing
If it turns a bit too acidic due to a little too much red wine vinegar you can balance it out with a drizzle or two of honey or maple syrup. Another option is to replace the red wine vinegar with champagne vinegar or a bit of dry white wine.You can use cauliflower rice or quinoa for the recipe. Cook them ahead of time.
