- 1 bunch of collard greens [or chard or kale] washed, with center rib removed and chopped into 1 1/2 inch strips
- 3-4 cloves of garlic peeled and minced or pressed
- 2 to matoes diced
- 2 Tbs olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- 1 can of white beans rinsed
Heat the olive oil in a deep frying pan until hot then add garlic and cook, stirring, for 30-60 seconds or until it begins to brown slightly.
Add greens to the pan and cook, stirring, until they start to turn a more vibrant green and become softer. ( I like to taste a piece and once it’s easy to chew then I move on to #3)
Add diced tomatoes and continue to stir and cook until all the greens and tomatoes have cooked down
Add the beans and salt and pepper.
Continue cooking until the beans are mixed in and warm and it is seasoned just right.
Serve warm.
Excellent paired with rice!
