For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of regular butter. Feel free to experiment with other vegetables like carrots or zucchini. Add a splash of soy sauce or tamari for an umami boost.
Elevate your weeknight dinner with this vibrant and flavorful sauteed rice. Tender kale, aromatic vegetables, and fluffy rice come together in a harmonious blend, creating a delightful side dish that perfectly complements any main course.
Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring the water to a boil. Add the kale, cover, and steam until just tender, 7 to 10 minutes.
Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion, celery, mushrooms, green bell pepper, and garlic in the oil and butter mixture until the onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Stir kale and rice into the mixture, breaking the rice into grains with your spoon as you stir; season with dry mustard, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Cook and stir until the rice is hot, about 5 minutes.
