Kale And White Bean Stew Recipes

WHITE BEAN AND KALE STEW

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, carrots, and celery and season with salt. Cook vegetables, stirring, until tender, about 8 minutes.
• Increase heat to medium high and add tomatoes and their juice. Cook, stirring, until mixture begins to caramelize, about 3 minutes.
• Add 7 cups water, potatoes, and beans, and bring soup to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes, then stir in kale.
• Cook, covered, until tender, about 2 minutes, then season with salt and pepper. Top with Parmesan.

SHRIMP, WHITE BEAN AND KALE STEW

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and cook, stirring occasionally, until the edges are browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add the kale, season with salt and pepper and cook until wilted, about 3 minutes. Stir in the white beans, chicken broth, 1 cup water and a pinch of salt. Add the bay leaves. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer; cover and cook until the kale is tender, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat the broiler. Put the baguette pieces cut-side up on a baking sheet and broil until toasted, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Add to the simmering stew, cover and cook until opaque, about 3 minutes. Season the stew with salt, if needed. Discard the bay leaves, then divide the stew among bowls. Drizzle with more olive oil and serve with the bread.

SPICY WHITE BEAN STEW WITH BROCCOLI RABE

Steps:

• Tear broccoli rabe or kale leaves into bite-size pieces and set aside. Chop the stems into about 1/4-inch pieces; set aside.
• Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add garlic and onion, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and sizzled at the edges, 4 to 6 minutes.
• Add harissa (or tomato paste and a pinch of red-pepper flakes), and stir to coat in the oil. Cook until the harissa is a nice brick red color, the sugars start to caramelize and the oil turns a nice vibrant fiery orange color, about 2 minutes.
• Add beans, and season with salt and pepper. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, crush a few beans to release their creamy interior.
• Add the broth and reserved stems, and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook until you've reached your desired consistency (less time for a brothier soup, more time for a thicker stew), 15 to 20 minutes.
• Add broccoli rabe or kale leaves and preserved lemon or lemon juice, and stir to wilt the greens. Season with salt, pepper and more red-pepper flakes if you want it spicier.
• Serve with feta and parsley, and with eggs, if you like.

KALE, WHITE BEAN, AND FARRO STEW

Steps:

• Stir farro into the vegetable mixture; add water, pureed cannellini beans, the drained cannellini beans, diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, zucchini, tomato paste, thyme, and red pepper flakes. Stir the mixture well and bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low, place a cover on the pot, and simmer until the farro is tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• Stir kale, salt, and pepper into the stew. Add more water to the stew if needed to keep everything covered in liquid and continue cooking until the kale is bright green and fully tender, about 30 minutes more.
