4 tsp fresh thyme
1 cup arborio rice
1/2 cup dry white wine
5 oz kale, chopped
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
salt and pepper to taste

Meanwhile, in large skillet melt butter over medium-high heat. Add garlic and onions. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add mushrooms and thyme, cook for 10 minutes or until mushrooms are fully cooked and golden brown.
Reduce heat and add rice. Cook for 2 minutes, then add wine, salt and pepper and stir constantly until wine is mostly adsorbed.
