Recipe: Crusty White Beans with Kale

July 30, 2007 in beans, recipe, vegan

Another lovely recipe from Heidi Swanson’s Super Natural Cooking. This recipe came together very easily and was delicious in a pita bread with the left over eggplant & chermoula the next day. :)

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 lb. dried white beans freshly cooked (your favorite recipe or one of mine)
  • 3 T. olive oil
  • salt
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1/2 – 1c. kale, thinly sliced in ribbons
  1. Drain the beans and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet over med-high, warm the olive oil. Add the beans to the pan in a single layer (do this in batches if they are not all in one layer). Stir to coat them olive oil then let them brown on one side, 3-5 minutes. Turn and allow to brown on the second side.
  3. Add a bit of salt to taste, then stir in the onion and garlic. Cook about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Stir in the kale and cook until it begins to wilt.
  5. If desired drizzle with a touch of olive oil prior to serving.
