Beans with Greens from Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone

1.5-2# kale, stems and ribs removed (if tough) and torn into pieces (or chop after simmering)

Salt and pepper

1 small onion, finely diced

1 ½ Tbs olive oil

2 plump garlic cloves, minced

Pinch red pepper flakes

2 tsp rosemary, chopped

½ cup dry white wine

1 1/3 cups cooked white beans, rinse well (I use 1 can)

Freshy grated parmesan (optional)

Simmer the kale in salted water until tender, 7-10 minutes. Drain and reserve some cooking water. In a large skillet, sauté the onion in the oil with garlic, pepper flakes, and rosemary for about 3 minutes.

Add white wine and cook until it's reduced to a syrupy sauce.

Add the beans, kale, and enough cooking water to keep the mixture loose. Heat through, taste for salt and season with pepper, and serve with a dusting of parmesan.

Serve as a side dish or main dish with French bread!
