Instructions
Begin by preparing the vegetables. Dice the onion, mince the garlic, peel and chop the carrots, slice the celery, chop the zucchini, dice the red bell pepper, and slice the mushrooms.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Add the zucchini, red bell pepper, and mushrooms to the mixture, cooking for approximately 5 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened.
Stir in the chopped kale, allowing it to cook until wilted, about 3 minutes.
Mix in the tomato paste, fresh thyme, fresh rosemary, sea salt, and black pepper, ensuring everything is well combined.
Let the mixture cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Finish by stirring in the lemon juice, adjusting the seasoning if necessary.
Remove from heat and serve immediately as a stuffing for meats, a filling for vegetables, or as a standalone side dish.
