Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 (15 ounce) can cannellini beans
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 stalks celery, thinly sliced
3 carrots, chopped
1 Spanish onion, chopped
1 leek (white and light green part only), thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup farro
2 cups water, or more if needed
1 (15 ounce) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 ½ cups low-sodium vegetable broth
1 zucchini, diced
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon dried thyme
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 bunch kale, leaves stripped from stems and coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Blend contents of 1 can cannellini beans with its liquid in a blender until pureed.
  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook and stir celery, carrots, Spanish onion, and leek in hot oil until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes; add garlic and continue cooking until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes more.
  • Stir farro into the vegetable mixture; add water, pureed cannellini beans, the drained cannellini beans, diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, zucchini, tomato paste, thyme, and red pepper flakes. Stir the mixture well and bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low, place a cover on the pot, and simmer until the farro is tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Stir kale, salt, and pepper into the stew. Add more water to the stew if needed to keep everything covered in liquid and continue cooking until the kale is bright green and fully tender, about 30 minutes more.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Vegetable oil cooking spray
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 medium fennel bulbs, outer layers removed, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
One 28-ounce can diced tomatoes
One 15-ounce can cannellini beans
One 10-ounce bunch kale, center rib removed, leaves chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
4 turkey or chicken Italian sausage links

Steps:

  • Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a grill pan with vegetable oil cooking spray.
  • In a Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the fennel, onion, 1 teaspoon of the salt and the red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring constantly, until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes (plus juices), beans, kale and broth. Bring the mixture to a boil. Cover the pan with a tight fitting lid and transfer to the oven. Cook until the vegetables are tender and the kale has wilted, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • While the stew is cooking, place a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill. Add the sausages and grill, turning occasionally, until cooked through, about 20 minutes. Cool and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and add the cooked sausage slices. Season with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Spoon the stew into bowls and serve.

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.
