A simple and satisfying vegetarian winter dish. I adapted the recipe from one I found in this month's "Bon Appétit" (February 2009).

Yield Mkes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 pounds kale leaves, center ribs and stems removed
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup chopped peeled carrots
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped shallots (about 4)
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 cup dry white wine
2 15-ounce cans white beans (preferably organic), drained
4 cups (or more) vegetable broth
3 fresh thyme sprigs
1 bay leaf
1 tablespoon Sherry wine vinegar
2 tablespoons assorted chopped fresh herbs (such as tarragon, parsley, and chives)

Steps:

  • Cook kale in large pot of boiling salted water 1 minute. Drain. Transfer to bowl of ice water to cool. Drain. Squeeze out excess water. Coarsely chop kale.
  • Heat olive oil in medium pot over medium heat. Add chopped carrots, celery, shallots, and garlic; cook until soft, stirring, about 15 minutes (do not brown vegetables). Add white wine and simmer until liquid is slightly reduced, about 7 minutes. Add white beans, 4 cups broth, thyme sprigs, and bay leaf and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 20 minutes. Add kale and simmer 5 minutes longer. Remove thyme sprigs and bay leaf. Add more broth by 1/2 cupfuls to thin stew, if desired. Mix in Sherry wine vinegar and chopped fresh herbs. Season with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Use Fresh, High-Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your stew. Choose fresh, organic vegetables, and beans, and use a flavorful broth or stock.
  • Don't Overcook the Vegetables: Overcooked vegetables will lose their texture and flavor. Cook them just until they are tender-crisp, about 10-15 minutes.
  • Season to Taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. Be careful not to over-season, as you can always add more seasoning later, but it's difficult to remove it once it's in.
  • Let the Stew Simmer: Simmering the stew for at least 30 minutes will help the flavors to develop and deepen. If you're short on time, you can simmer the stew for a shorter amount of time, but the flavor won't be as rich.
  • Serve with Crusty Bread or Rice: Kale, white bean, and potato stew is a hearty and filling meal that can be served with crusty bread or rice. The bread or rice will help to soak up the flavorful broth.

Conclusion:

Kale, white bean, and potato stew is a delicious, healthy, and affordable meal that can be easily made at home. This stew is packed with nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, and fiber. It's also a good source of protein and healthy fats. The next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this kale, white bean, and potato stew a try. You won't be disappointed!
