Beans & Greens Sauté
Beans & Greens Sauté
This can be served as a side dish or as a vegetable-filled dinner. Try serving over rice for a heartier dish. You can use a mix of vegetables like spinach, mustard greens, or kale and vary the beans to give the dish a different flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 bunch greens, stems removed, thinly sliced
- 1 medium-sized onion, thinly sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 8-10 oz. Great Northern or Cannellini beans
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- salt & pepper to taste
- (optional) pinch of red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add garlic and pepper flakes if using and cook, stirring often, until golden brown, about 5 minutes
- Add greens (in batches, if needed), stir until beginning to wilt before adding more, tossing with tongs to coat with oil.
- Add cooked beans and scallions and cook until beans are heated through.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Cooking Variation
- You can add a cup of broth when adding the greens, cover, and simmer until the greens are tender.
