KALE WITH CANNELLINI BEANS



Kale With Cannellini Beans image

I found this recipe in Deborah Madison's book Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone. I used it as part of a meal that i was creating that needed to contain 45 or fewer carbs. My guests, one of whom who does not like kale, loved the mixture of the beans and the kale and really enjoyed this dish. Next time, I might make some croutons to sprinkle on top of it as well to give it a bit of crunch.

Tips:

  • Choose the right kale: Look for fresh, tender kale with dark, leafy greens. Avoid kale that is wilted or has yellow or brown spots.
  • Wash the kale thoroughly: Kale can be gritty, so it's important to wash it thoroughly before cooking. Rinse the kale under cold water and shake it dry.
  • Remove the stems from the kale: The stems of the kale are tough and fibrous, so it's best to remove them before cooking. To do this, hold the kale leaf by the stem and use your other hand to strip the leaves off the stem.
  • Chop the kale into bite-sized pieces: Once the kale is washed and stemmed, chop it into bite-sized pieces. This will help it cook evenly.
  • Use a large skillet or sauté pan: Kale cooks down a lot, so it's important to use a large skillet or sauté pan. This will give the kale plenty of room to cook without overcrowding.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking kale, it's important to not overcrowd the pan. If the pan is too crowded, the kale will steam instead of sautéing.
  • Cook the kale over medium heat: Kale should be cooked over medium heat. This will help it cook evenly without burning.
  • Season the kale with salt and pepper: Season the kale with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Cook the kale until it is tender: Kale should be cooked until it is tender, but still has a slight crunch. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes.
  • Serve the kale immediately: Sautéed kale is best served immediately. It can be served as a side dish or as a main course.

Conclusion:

Sautéed kale with cannellini beans is a healthy and delicious dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with nutrients and is a good source of fiber and protein. The kale is cooked until it is tender, but still has a slight crunch, and the cannellini beans add a creamy texture and a nutty flavor. This dish is also very versatile and can be served as a side dish or as a main course. With its simple ingredients and easy preparation, sautéed kale with cannellini beans is a great option for anyone looking for a healthy and flavorful meal.
