Kale and White Beans

Kale and white Beans

Warm bowl of Kale and White Beans

 4 cups washed and dried kale leaves shredded off the stem

2 cloves of garlic chopped finely

¼ cup onion chopped

2 cups white canned beans

¼ cup of the juice from the can of beans

2 tablespoons olive oil

Shred the leaves off the Kale stems and throw the stems away as they are tough and chewy.

Remove leaves from stems and throw stems away.

Warm the oil, garlic and onion and saute until tender about 4-5 minutes.  Add kale and saute about 10 minutes until cooked through.  Add the juice of the beans and cook another 4-5 minutes on medium /low.

TIPS:

·        You could add some bacon (for the non- vegetarians!)

·        Fresh Tomatoes would also be good.

·        This dish is good warm or cold and could be served with or on pasta of choice

·        This is a great base for a soup (just add broth and any other vegetables you might like)
