Hearty winter dish with braised kale, kidney beans, and your choice of grains or cornbread.
Ingredients:
  • 1 pound kale
  • 1 tablespoon oil, or to taste
  • 1 large red onion, finely chopped
  • kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 6 cloves garlic, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon dried sage
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 2 (15 ounce) cans kidney beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
Instructions:
  • Remove tough stems from kale and discard. Roll leaves tightly, then slice crosswise into 3/4-inch strips. Soak in cold water, swirl to remove any grit, then drain in a colander. Repeat if necessary.
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, warm oil. Add onion, sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper. Sauté until edges turn golden brown, around 3 minutes. Stir in garlic and sage, cook until aromatic for about 1 minute.
  • Pour in the vegetable broth, deglazing the bottom of the saucepan. Cover, lower heat to a simmer for about 5 minutes. Increase heat to medium, add the kale, season with salt and pepper, stirring until wilted, approximately 2 minutes. Cover and cook until kale is tender yet slightly crisp, around 3 minutes.
  • Uncover the saucepan and mix in the beans and hot sauce. Stir until the beans are heated through, about 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
