Eat Your Greens & Beans Recipe chatNchow

• olive oil enough to coat skillet
• 1 bunch swiss chard
• 1/2 to 1 package baby spinach
• 2 big handfuls of green beans washed picked and cut in half
• 1 can red beans
• 6 cloves garlic chopped
• 1 onion chopped
• lots of fresh herbs I used a huge handful of basil and parsley
• salt and pepper
• red pepper
• 3/4 of a box of chicken stock
• whole wheat pasta - any kind
• parmesean
• croutons

1. In a deep skillet saute garlic and onion until lightly browned Wash and separate the swiss chard into leaves and stems, chop stems into bite size pieces Add just the stems to the garlic and onions
2. Saute until tender Chop greens into bite size pieces and add to tender stem mixture
3. Let greens wilt and become tender and add spinach & chicken broth Let mixture come to a simmer and add green beans.
4. Let cook for 3-4 minutes or until beans are tender.
5. The more fresh the beans are the less cooking they will need.
6. Once tender add the red beans.
7. Season with salt, pepper & red pepper to taste.
8. I dont ad too much salt (if any) because the stock already has salt and so will the parmesean & breadcrumbs.
9. Scoop over pasta and finish with croutons and parmesean.
10. This dish would be great hot or room temperature on a warmer night.
