Ingredients

  • 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 5 C. chopped fresh kale. I found a bag of freshly chopped kale at the supermarket. If you can't find kale, Swiss chard will work too.
  • 1/2 C. vegetable stock
  • kosher salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 12oz. can of rinsed white beans
  • 1/2 C. toasted slivered almonds
  • 1/2 C. Italian bread crumbs
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic salt
  • optional- 1/4 C. grated Parmesan cheese and/or red pepper flakes

Method

  • Heat a large nonstick pan on medium high heat.
  • Add olive oil and frozen garlic.
  • While the garlic melts, rinse kale and add to the pan.
  • Cook for 30 seconds then add stock.
  • Continue cooking for approximately 5 minutes or until kale starts to cook down.
  • While the kale is cooking, add the rinsed beans and stir to incorporate.
  • Add a good pinch of kosher salt and pepper.
  • Reduce heat to medium, cover and continue cooking for another 6 minutes.
  • While the kale cooks, saute bread crumbs, garlic salt and 1 Tbs.
  • olive oil in a small pan on medium heat until they turn golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Before serving kale, drizzle truffle oil, add almonds and top with toasted bread crumbs.
  • You can also add a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese and a few red pepper flakes.
