Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup diced yellow onion (about 1/2 medum onion)
1/2 cup diced carrot (about 2 medium carrots)
1/4 cup diced celery (about 1 stalk)
4 medium cloves garlic (minced)
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (15-ounce) can cannellini or white kidney beans, drained (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 (15-ounce) can kidney beans, drained (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 (15-ounce) can butter beans (also known as lima beans), drained (about 1 1/2 cups)
2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
2 5- inch sprigs rosemary
1 bay leaf
1 small bunch lacinato kale (also known as dinosaur kale or Tuscan kale, cut into 1-inch pieces) (about 4 cups))
Additional salt and pepper to taste
Additional olive oil for serving (if desired)

Steps:

  • Add the olive oil to a large, heavy pan over medium heat. When hot, add the onions, carrots, and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5-6 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for one more minute. Stir in the thyme, salt, and black pepper. Add the beans, broth, rosemary, and bay leaf. Stir to combine. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Once it comes to a boil, reduce heat to low to maintain a simmer until the stew is thickened, 20-25 minutes.
  • Add the kale and cook until wilted, 3-4 minutes.
  • Remove the rosemary sprigs and bay leaf. Taste and add additional salt and pepper if desired.
  • Serve as-is or over polenta, brown rice, or quinoa. Drizzle individual servings with a little olive oil, if desired.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this stew without the sausage. It was still delicious! I added some extra vegetables to make up for the lack of meat. It was a great way to get my daily dose of beans and vegetables.

I love the addition of kale to this stew. It adds a nice pop of color and flavor. I also like to add a bit of red pepper flakes to give it a little kick.
