Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 Tbsp olive oil, extra virgin
1 bay leaf
2 clove garlic, smashed and roughly chopped
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
1 small red onion, sliced
1 1/2 lb tuscan kale, rinsed, patted dry, and cut crosswise into 1-inch wide slices
3/4 tsp kosher salt, plus more if needed
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper, plus more if needed
3 1/2 c cooked white beans, or 2 (15-oz) cans cannellini beans or white beans, drained and rinsed
1 c canned diced tomatoes, with their juices
1/2 c vegetable stock, or canned low-sodium vegetable broth
extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling

Steps:

1. Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. When it is hot, add the bay leaf, garlic, crushed red pepper and red onion. Cook until the onion begins to wilt and the garlic begins to turn golden around the edges, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the kale, salt and pepper, and cook for another 2 minutes. Then add the white beans, tomatoes and stock. Cover and cook until the kale is wilted and cooked through, about 15 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
2. Transfer the ragout to a serving dish, and drizzle it with extra virgin olive oil to taste. Serve hot.

Time 50m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb great northern bean, cooked very soft (or one 28 ounce can of large white beans)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons garlic, chopped (about 5 cloves)
2 medium onions, diced
2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1/4 tsp. dried)
1 dried new mexico chili (or 1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes)
1 head escarole (about 6 cups leaves, or an equal amount of spinach, torn into large pieces)
6 ripe plum tomatoes, seeded and diced (about 1 1/2 cups)
2 ounces unsalted butter
1/4 cup flat-leaf Italian parsley, rough chopped
1/2 cup parmigiano-reggiano cheese, grated (optional)
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
3 drops extra virgin olive oil (or a nice flavored oil)

Steps:

Strain the cooking liquid from the beans and reserve(you should have about 2 cups of liquid-add water if necessary to reach this amount). Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until it turns white and fragrant, only aobut 30 seconds. Stir in the onions, rosemary, and chili. Cook gently until the onions are very soft, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the beans and enough bean cooking liquid to make the mixture brothy; simmer 5 minutes.
Stir in the escarole or spinach; simmer until it is all wilted. Add the tomatoes, butter, parsley, and cheese if using. Remove from the heat, and stir until the butter is melted in, adding additional bean liquid as necessary to keep it brothy. Season well with salt and pepper.
Serve warm, drizzled with extra virgin olive oil.
Note:.
This stew can be prepared just up to adding wscarole. Refrigerate for up to 3 days. The flavors will marry and the dish will be even better.
