Cannellini Bean With Flat Leaf Kale Recipes

SLOW COOKER RIBOLLITA

Steps:

• Place the beans in a large bowl and add cold water to cover by 3 inches. Cover the bowl and soak the beans in the refrigerator overnight.
• The next day, pour the beans and their soaking liquid into a slow cooker. Add enough fresh water to cover the beans by 2 inches, cover with the lid, and cook on the high setting for 4 hours.
• Place a very large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the olive oil, and when the oil shimmers, add the onion. Season with salt and cook for 5 minutes, stirring every minute or so, until softened. Add the carrots, celery, butternut squash, and garlic, and cook for 5 more minutes, until starting to soften. Transfer the vegetables to the slow cooker. Add the tomatoes, crushing each one in your hand as you add it. Add the bouquet garni, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1/2 tablespoon of the red pepper flakes. Cook on the low setting for 3 hours.
• Uncover the slow cooker, remove the bouquet garni, and add the kale, bread, 1 cup of the Parmigiano-Reggiano, and the remaining 1/2 tablespoon red pepper flakes. Stir the soup well, season with more salt to taste, and serve with the remaining Parmigiano-Reggiano sprinkled on top.

WHITE BEANS AND KALE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the kale and cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted, about 3 minutes. Stir in the beans with the liquid from the can, lemon zest, 2 cups water and a generous pinch each of salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and continue to cook, stirring occasionally until the liquid has reduced and the kale is tender, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Transfer the kale and beans to a serving bowl. Scatter the parsley and chives over the top and serve with lemon wedges.
