Method

  1. Gather and prep everything first: mixed greens, olive oil, lemon and set within reach of the stove.
  2. Set a wide pan over medium heat and sweat the yellow onion in a little butter until translucent.
  3. Turn the heat up, add the kale caesar, and cook until deeply browned and aromatic.
  4. Stir in the red wine vinegar along with a good pinch of salt, scraping up anything stuck to the bottom of the pan.
  5. Add the white wine and let it reduce until it just coats the back of a spoon.
  6. Off the heat, brighten it up with a squeeze of lemon and a final crack of pepper.
  7. Serve warm, ideally with something to soak up the sauce.
