How to Prep Shiitakes and Ginger?

Fresh shiitake mushrooms have a fabulous meaty texture and deep savory, umami flavor. You always remove the stems (discard or save for stock) and slice the top thinly.

How do you know when bitter greens are cooked enough?

As you cook bitter greens, like kale, they become less bitter and the fibers soften, making them easier to chew.

That way, when you add a spritz of fresh lemon, they're still a deep verdant green, a sign of their nutritional value.

What to Serve with Sautéed Kale:?
