Categories     side-dish

Time 2h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups dried white beans, such as cannellini
1 sprig fresh sage
4 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
2 tablespoons plus 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 small bunch Tuscan kale (cavolo nero), chopped
1 3/4 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • In a medium Dutch oven, combine the white beans, sage, garlic, 2 tablespoons olive oil and 6 cups water (bottled preferred). Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook, partially covered, for 1 hour 20 minutes, stirring occasionally; the beans should be just tender all the way through.
  • Add the kale, salt and red pepper flakes to the beans and stir to combine. Cover the pan and simmer until the kale is wilted and tender, an additional 15 minutes. Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup olive oil and the cheese to finish.

I'm not a big fan of cavolo nero, but I loved this dish. The white beans and tomatoes really balanced out the bitterness of the greens.

This was my first time cooking cavolo nero and I was very impressed. It has a unique flavor that pairs well with the white beans.

This dish was absolutely delicious! The white beans were creamy and flavorful, and the cavolo nero added a nice bitterness. I will definitely be making this again.
