Beans and Greens
By Mary McDougall
For this recipe, I use a Crock-Pot (slow cooker). We do this often at our house and serve with a simple salad or roasted potatoes
Serves: 4-6
Prep Time: 10 min
Cook Time: 480 min
Ingredients
3 Cups
Dried cannellini beans
3 Cups
Steamed kale
Juice and zest of 1 lemon
Salt and pepper to taste
Crushed red pepper, optional
Directions
1
Start your cannellini beans cooking in a crockpot in the morning. Make sure the beans are covered with at least 1 1/2 inches of water and cook on low for 8 hours. When they are done, mash roughly with a bean masher and add salt to taste. Serve beans with steamed kale, squeeze a bit of lemon over the top and add a pinch of zest. Add salt and pepper to taste and crushed red pepper, if desired.
Hint: Serve this over whole grains of your choice, if desired.
