bowl of tomato butter beans with kale and garlic

Ingredients
 1 tsp light olive oil
 2 16 oz can large butter beans
 2 tbsp tomato paste
 30 g sun dried tomatoes, oil-packed (remove the tomatoes from the oil before weighing and adding to the dish)
 1 14 oz can fire roasted diced tomatoes
 4 cloves garlic
 1 cube vegetable bullion of choice
 2 tsp dried thyme
 2 tsp dried rosemary
 200 g lacinato kale (optional)
Preparation
1

Heat the skillet over medium heat. When it’s warm, use the olive oil to coat the pan. Add the garlic and saute until lightly golden (about 3-5 minutes).

2

Add the dried thyme and rosemary to the olive oil and toss with the garlic, allowing the herbs to toast for about 30 seconds. Reduce the heat to low.

3

To the skillet, add the rinsed and drained butter beans, tomato paste, sun dried tomatoes, and vegetable bullion. Stir to combine. If the mixture begins to stick to the skillet, add a tablespoon or two of water.

4

Cook the beans until heated through and until any water has evaporated (about 5-10 minutes).

5

Add the washed shredded kale to the skillet and toss with the other ingredients to coat with oil and spices. Sautee the mixture until the kale has softened and is slightly wilted.

6

Add flakey sea salt and cracked pepper to taste.

7

Serve with crusty bread, over grains, with salted slices of avocado, or with a salad for a quick, no-fuss dinner.
