serves 2 to 4
½ bunch (6 ounces) dinosaur or
Lacinato kale, stems removed
2 tablespoons extra-virgin
olive oil
2 to 3 big handfuls cooked
large white beans (Coronas, Lima or Gigante beans)
¼ teaspoon fine grain sea salt
or Kosher salt
⅓ cup (1½ ounces) walnuts,
lightly toasted and chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
⅛ teaspoon freshly grated
nutmeg
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Zest of 1 lemon
⅓ cup freshly grated Parmesan
cheese (optional)
Chop kale. Wash and shake off as much water as possible. Set
aside.
Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in widest skillet you have. Add beans in single layer, gently stirring to coat, then let sit long
enough to brown lightly on one side, about 3 or 4 minutes before turning
to brown.Turn beans over and cook an additional 3 to 4 minutes, until golden
brown and a bit crunchy on outside. Add walnuts, garlic, and nutmeg.
Add the kale and salt to the pan and cook for less a minute, just long
enough for kale to lose a bit of its structure. Stir in lemon juice and
zest. Add the Parmesan and serve.
Crusty bread and a bottle of wine are always complementary to this dish.
If in the San Francisco Bay Area, beans are obtainable from Rancho Gordo
or Rainbow Grocery.
