    Lacinato Kale, one small bunch
    Celery, center of the stalk

Directions

In a 5-quart dutch oven or soup pot, drizzle one tablespoon of olive oil and heat for a few minutes over medium heat.

Add onions (sliced), celery (chopped small), yellow pepper (diced), garlic (minced), mushrooms (sliced) and scallion ends (chopped). Saute over medium heat for a few minutes and then add the green cabbage (thinly shredded).

Saute until cabbage wilts down and then add: ground beef (breaking into chunks as you add it in) , the canned tomatoes (any variety is fine), dry rice and beef broth.

Bring to a slow boil and add the kale (chopped) and spinach (chopped) by the handful, allowing each handful to wilt into the stew before adding the next handful.

Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning to taste. You can also add a bit of cayenne, red pepper flakes or Tabasco if you like a kick.

Garnish with raw chopped scallion greens.

One pot makes eight 2-cup servings.
