Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup diced yellow onion (about 1/2 medum onion)
1/2 cup diced carrot (about 2 medium carrots)
1/4 cup diced celery (about 1 stalk)
4 medium cloves garlic (minced)
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (15-ounce) can cannellini or white kidney beans, drained (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 (15-ounce) can kidney beans, drained (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 (15-ounce) can butter beans (also known as lima beans), drained (about 1 1/2 cups)
2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
2 5- inch sprigs rosemary
1 bay leaf
1 small bunch lacinato kale (also known as dinosaur kale or Tuscan kale, cut into 1-inch pieces) (about 4 cups))
Additional salt and pepper to taste
Additional olive oil for serving (if desired)

Steps:

  • Add the olive oil to a large, heavy pan over medium heat. When hot, add the onions, carrots, and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5-6 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for one more minute. Stir in the thyme, salt, and black pepper. Add the beans, broth, rosemary, and bay leaf. Stir to combine. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Once it comes to a boil, reduce heat to low to maintain a simmer until the stew is thickened, 20-25 minutes.
  • Add the kale and cook until wilted, 3-4 minutes.
  • Remove the rosemary sprigs and bay leaf. Taste and add additional salt and pepper if desired.
  • Serve as-is or over polenta, brown rice, or quinoa. Drizzle individual servings with a little olive oil, if desired.

I followed the recipe exactly but my stew turned out too watery. I think I added too much liquid.

This was a great recipe! I made it exactly as written, and it turned out perfectly. The only thing I would change next time is to add a little more spice.

This stew was easy to make and packed with flavor. I used dried beans, which I soaked overnight before cooking. The stew simmered for about 2 hours, and the beans were perfectly tender. I served it with crusty bread and a green salad.
