Pan-Toasted Chickpea Gnocchi With Beans And Greens
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup green beans cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 cup canned unsalted chickpeas (garbanzo beans), rinsed and drained
- 1/2 cup canned unsalted kidney beans, rinsed and drained
- 1/2 cup canned diced tomatoes, drained
- 2 garlic cloves, sliced
- 1 medium head escarole/curly endive, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/3 ounce shaved Romano cheese
- Remove the gnocchi from the refrigerator. Uncover.
- Warm a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat.
- TOAST THE GNOCCHI
- Add the butter to the pan, swirl, melt, and bring to the foaming point.
- Add the gnocchi, and saut for about 5 minutes, turning periodically, until evenly toasted.
- Transfer the gnocchi to an oven-safe plate while you cook the escarole. Hold them in a warm place, preferably in a warm oven.
- MAKE THE GREENS AND BEANS "SAUCE"
- Raise the heat in the pan to medium-high and add the olive oil.
- Add the green beans to the pan. Stir to deglaze the browned bits left behind by the gnocchi. Cook 2 minutes. The beans will retain a bit of a crunch.
- Add the chickpeas, the kidney beans, the tomatoes, the garlic, and the escarole, and stir until the beans are heated through and the escarole has wilted, about 2 minutes.
- Turn off the heat. Sprinkle the bean and endive mixture with lemon juice and salt.
- Serve on a platter, with the greens and beans on the base and the gnocchi on top, with a sprinkling of Romano cheese.
