Satisfying beans and greens: Tender cannellini beans in flavorful broth with wilted escarole.
Ingredients:
  • 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes
  • 2 (15 ounce) cans cannellini (white) beans, drained
  • 1 anchovy filet
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano
  • 0.5 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 head escarole, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Instructions:
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil until fragrant. Quickly sauté the garlic until it begins to sizzle for about 20 seconds. Then, add the chicken broth and bring it to a boil. Simmer until the liquid reduces by half in about 6 to 8 minutes. Finish by stirring in a pinch of red pepper flakes.
  • Add cannellini beans and bring to a vigorous boil. Cook until beans are barely peeking through the liquid, around 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in anchovy fillet, oregano, and lemon zest; let it simmer for 3 minutes.
  • Add the escarole and lower the heat to low. Cook and stir until the escarole wilts, approximately 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then finish with a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil and an extra pinch of red pepper flakes.
