BRAISED WHITE BEANS AND GREENS WITH PARMESAN



Braised White Beans and Greens With Parmesan image

Inspired by the Italian dish of sautéed puntarelle (a Italian variety of chicory) and white beans, this recipe makes a satisfying vegetarian main course or a hearty side dish for roast chicken or sausages. It opts for canned white beans, for the sake of weeknight convenience, and Swiss chard, which is much milder than puntarelle and easier to find in the U.S. Kale or escarole would also work well, if that's what you've got. On that note, grated Pecorino Romano cheese gives the broth a more pungent element, but Parmesan will work in its place. Serve in shallow bowls with toasted country bread to mop up the garlicky broth.

Provided by Lidey Heuck

Categories     dinner, weekday, beans, vegetables, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup olive oil
1 small fennel bulb, trimmed, cored and small-diced
1 small yellow onion, small-diced
2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary or thyme
5 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes, plus more to taste
1 large or 2 small bunches escarole, kale or Swiss chard, stems removed (10 to 12 ounces)
2 (15-ounce) cans cannellini beans, rinsed
2 cups low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella (optional)
3 tablespoons grated Pecorino Romano or Parmesan, plus more for serving
Toasted country bread, for serving

Steps:

  • In a 12-inch skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium. Add the fennel, onion and rosemary, and cook for 4 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender. Add the garlic and red-pepper flakes and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Begin adding handfuls of the greens, cooking and stirring until leaves wilt.
  • Add the white beans, broth and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then turn the heat to low and simmer, mashing some of the beans with a wooden spoon, until the liquid has reduced and thickened, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Off the heat, stir in the lemon juice, then the mozzarella, if using, and Pecorino Romano. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Divide among shallow bowls and top with more Pecorino Romano. Serve with toasted bread and a dish of red-pepper flakes on the side.

KALE WITH CANNELLINI BEANS



Kale With Cannellini Beans image

I found this recipe in Deborah Madison's book Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone. I used it as part of a meal that i was creating that needed to contain 45 or fewer carbs. My guests, one of whom who does not like kale, loved the mixture of the beans and the kale and really enjoyed this dish. Next time, I might make some croutons to sprinkle on top of it as well to give it a bit of crunch.

PORK TENDERLOIN WITH WHITE BEANS AND KALE



Pork Tenderloin with White Beans and Kale image

Pork tenderloin is paired with onions, garlic, bell peppers, kale and white beans to make a hearty and beautiful weeknight meal. Best of all, it's budget friendly!

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon vegetable oil, plus more if needed
One 1 1/4- to 1 1/2-pound pork tenderloin
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 bunch curly kale
One 15-ounce can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Heat a large high-sided cast-iron or oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil. Pat the pork tenderloin dry and season with the smoked paprika, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. When the oil is shimmering, add the pork and sear on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer the pork to the prepared baking sheet and roast until it registers 145 to 150 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, 20 to 25 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, set the same skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of oil if needed and add the peppers and onions. Add a splash of water to deglaze and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and cook until fragrant and slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Remove and discard the tough, fibrous ribs from the kale leaves, then roughly chop the kale leaves. Add the kale and use a wooden spoon to carefully fold the hot vegetables over the kale to help it begin to wilt. Continue to cook until the kale is bright green and wilted, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the white beans and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until heated through, about 2 minutes more.
  • Slice the rested pork on the diagonal and serve with the white bean and kale mixture.

SAUTEED GREENS WITH CANNELLINI BEANS AND GARLIC



Sauteed Greens with Cannellini Beans and Garlic image

A great side, but also a nice vegetarian dinner when made with vegetable broth and served over rice.

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
1 large bunch greens (such as spinach, mustard greens, kale, or broccoli rabe; about 1 pound), thick stems removed, spinach left whole, other greens cut into 1-inch strips (about 10 cups packed)
1 cup (or more) vegetable broth or low-salt chicken broth
1 15-ounce can cannellini (white kidney beans), rinsed, drained
1 teaspoon (or more) Sherry wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Heat 4 tablespoons oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and dried crushed pepper; stir until garlic is pale golden, about 1 minute. Add greens by large handfuls; stir just until beginning to wilt before adding more, tossing with tongs to coat with oil.
  • Add 1 cup broth, cover, and simmer until greens are just tender, adding more broth by tablespoonfuls if dry, 1 to 10 minutes, depending on type of greens. Add beans; simmer uncovered until beans are heated through and liquid is almost absorbed, about 2 minutes. Stir in 1 teaspoon vinegar. Season with salt and pepper, and more vinegar if desired; drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon oil and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right kale: Look for kale with dark, leafy greens and no signs of wilting or yellowing. Lacinato (also known as Tuscan or dinosaur) kale is a popular choice for sautéing, as it has a tender texture and slightly sweet flavor.
  • Wash and chop the kale thoroughly: Remove the tough stems from the kale leaves and chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces. Wash the kale thoroughly in cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Use a large skillet or wok: A large skillet or wok will allow you to cook the kale quickly and evenly. Make sure the skillet or wok is large enough to accommodate all of the kale without overcrowding.
  • Sauté the kale over high heat: Sautéing the kale over high heat will help to caramelize the leaves and bring out their natural sweetness. Be sure to stir the kale constantly to prevent it from burning.
  • Add aromatics and seasonings: Aromatics such as garlic, onion, and ginger can help to enhance the flavor of the kale. You can also add seasonings such as salt, pepper, and chili flakes to taste.
  • Cook the kale until it is tender: The kale should be cooked until it is tender but still retains a slight crunch. Overcooking the kale will make it slimy and tough.

Conclusion:

Sautéed kale with cannellini beans is a simple but delicious dish that is packed with nutrients. It is a great way to get your daily dose of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. This dish can be served as a side dish or a main course. It is also a great addition to salads, soups, and stews. With its simple ingredients and easy preparation, sautéed kale with cannellini beans is a dish that everyone can enjoy.
