Ready for some greens & beans? No, we don’t mean green beans! We mean some hearty leafy greens, tasty beans, and mouthwatering bread fried in olive oil. Yum! What a filling afternoon snack or a vegetarian-friendly party appetizer!
This recipe features:
- Primo’s Chipotle Olive Oil (You can substitute this for a non-spicy kick if you’re not a fan of the heat! Check out more of our olive oil flavors here.)
- Primo’s 18-Year-Old Balsamic Condimento
- Seasonello Sardegna (Sardinia) Sea Salt
- Dr. Pete’s Rustic French Boule Bread Mix (You can purchase your own, but we just love baking bread! This one’s an easy baking mix, too!)
Greens and Beans with Fried Bread
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 1 tsp finely chopped oregano
- 3/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 bunch Tuscan kale, ribs and stems removed
- 1 15.5 oz can white beans (such as butter or cannellini), rinsed
- 1/2 cup plus 2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil; plus more for serving
- 2 - 1 inches thick slices crusty bread
- White wine vinegar (for serving)
Instructions
- Bring wine, garlic, oregano, salt, red pepper flakes, and ¼ cup water to a boil in a large skillet. Add kale, cover pan (a baking sheet works great if you don’t have a big lid), and cook, stirring occasionally, until greens are wilted, about 4 minutes. Mix in beans and ½ cup oil and cook, uncovered, until beans are warmed through, about 2 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat 2 Tbsp. oil in another large skillet over medium. Fry bread in skillet until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to paper towels to drain. (If you don’t have 2 large skillets, cook the bread first and keep it warm in a low oven while you use the same skillet to make the kale and beans.)
- To serve, place fried bread on plates and spoon kale mixture and sauce over, dividing evenly. Drizzle with a little oil and vinegar.
Notes
A saucy little mix of beans, greens, and garlic.
