Ingredients

Scale

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 medium onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1 can (15 oz) white beans, drained and rinsed

4 cups fresh kale, chopped

1 cup vegetable broth

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Salt and pepper to taste

Grated Parmesan cheese for serving (optional)


Instructions

Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic, oregano, and red pepper flakes, cooking for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Add the Beans and Broth: Stir in the white beans and vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer, allowing it to cook for about 5 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Incorporate the Greens: Add the chopped kale to the skillet, stirring to combine. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the kale is wilted and tender.

Finish and Serve: Stir in the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm, topped with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
