Missy Robbins' Speedy Kale & White Bean Stew
- 1 large bunch Tuscan kale or 2 small ones
- 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 1 1/2 teaspoons red chile flakes
- 2 cups juice from two 28-ounce cans whole peeled San Marzano tomatoes (save the tomatoes for another use) or tomato passata
- 1 15-ounce can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, or more to taste
- 1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
- Remove the leaves from the woody stems of the kale and wash leaves. Save the stems for another use.
- Heat a shallow saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the olive oil and garlic to the pan and sweat until aromatic but not browned. Add the chile flakes.
- Rip the kale leaves into rough, 2-inch pieces and add to the pan. Lightly sweat until well-coated in the oil and starting to wilt, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add the San Marzano juice and cook the kale until tender, about 10 to 12 minutes. If using passata and the juice is too thick, add a cup of water, which will evaporate as it cooks. The kale will also release a bit of water.
- Add the cannellini beans to the kale just to heat them through.
- Season with the salt, stir to incorporate, and taste. Add more salt if necessary.
- Transfer the kale into a large serving bowl or two soup bowls and top with Parmigiano-Reggiano.
