Optional seasonings:

  • Salt or salt substitute and pepper, to taste

Heat seasoned cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Add onions and water sauté until beginning to brown. Add butternut squash on top, 1 tablespoon water, cover, and let steam 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in sage, onions, and squash until mixed.

Place kale on top and add about 2 tablespoons water. Cover and allow kale to steam for about 4 minutes. Stir kale, squash, and onion.
