  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 bunch lacinato kale
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, sliced
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 sprigs fresh sage (about 6 leaves)
  • Kosher salt
  • 2 14-ounce cans cannellini beans, drained and rinsed or 3 cups cooked white beans
  • 1 quart chicken stock or vegetable broth
  • freshly-ground black pepper
  • grated pecorino toscano or parmigianno-reggiano, for serving

Instructions

  1. Wash the kale, remove the tough central stems, and chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
  2. In a medium Dutch oven over medium heat, warm the olive oil until shimmering. Add the onion and sauté until translucent and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic, red pepper flakes, and sage; stir for 30 seconds.
  3. Mix in the chopped kale leaves, stirring to coat with the oil and aromatics, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the leaves begin to soften. Season with a good pinch of salt (about 1/2 teaspoon).
  4. Stir in the drained beans and pour in the chicken stock or vegetable broth. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and let simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the kale is tender and the beans are warmed through.
  5. Remove from heat, taste, and season with freshly-ground black pepper. Ladle into shallow bowls, topping with freshly-grated Pecorino Toscano or Parmigiano-Reggiano and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
