Cannellini Beans with Roasted Peppers and Kale
From The Quick Recipe, a Cooks Illustrated cookbook.
Feeds 4 as a main course, 6-8 as a side dish.
Delicious and fast. Needs fresh crusty bread to soak up the juices.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil + extra for drizzling
- 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- salt and pepper
- Jar of roasted red peppers, drained, thinly sliced
- Bunch of kale, stemmed and sliced thinly (about 4 cups)
- Two 15 oz cans cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/3 cup dry white wine or vermouth
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan
- 1 lemon cut into wedges
Combine the oil, garlic, pepper flakes in a large skillet over medium high heat. When it starts to sizzle, shake the pan to keep the garlic slices from clumping together. After 2-3 mins when garlic is lightly brown, add onion and 3/4 tsp salt. After 2-3 mins when onion softens and begins to brown, add peppers. Cook 3 mins till softened and glossy. Stir in kale, slowly adding more as it wilts. Add beans, wine and 1/2 cup water. Cover and simmer over medium low heat 10 mins until flavours blend. Season. Serve in warmed bowls topped with cheese and with a lemon wedge on the side.
