Rachael demonstrates a dish with very healthy ingredients, mushrooms and kale.  She starts by simply sauteing sliced crimini mushrooms.  But, rather than leaving them open in a heated pan as in a typical sauteing process, she presses down on them with the lid of a sauce pan that fits into the saute pan.  She adds kale and presses down on it too.  She calls it smothering them.  She deglazes the pan with some Marsala wine. This simple process creates a healthy and delicious side dish.  Enjoy.
