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.
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.
You can add a cup of broth when adding the greens, cover, and simmer until the greens are tender.
