Kale With Cannellini Beans - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 - 2 lbs kale or 1 1/2-2 lbs mixed greens, with ribs and stems removed
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 small onion, finely diced
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
2 plump garlic cloves, minced
1 pinch red pepper flakes
2 teaspoons rosemary, chopped
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 1/2 cups cooked cannellini beans, rinsed well if canned
parmesan cheese, freshly grated (optional)

Preparation

Simmer the kale in salted water until tender, 7-10 minutes.
Drain, reserving the cooking water, and chop the leaves.
In a large skillet, saute the onion in the oil with the garlic, pepper flakes, and rosemary for about 3 minutes. Add the wine and cook until reduced to a syrupy sauce.
Add the beans, kale, and enough of the cooking water to keep the mixture loose.
Heat through, taste for salt and season with pepper and a dusting of Parmesan cheese.
