Steps
- 1Begin by heating a generous amount of olive oil in a pan. Cook the onion and garlic with a sprinkle of salt until they turn translucent, which should take around 5 minutes. Pour in the white wine and let it simmer until reduced by half. Introduce the wild rice along with its soaking liquid, then simmer until the grains are tender, for approximately 45 minutes.
- 2Begin by seasoning the kale with a touch of salt in a mixing bowl. Proceed to gently massage the kale until it turns into a dark green color, becomes soft, and develops a tender texture when eaten.
