Garlicky Kale & Butterbeans

This jumble of kale and soft garlicky buttery beans is a bowl of whole food goodness that is DELICIOUS.

The goodness of kale needs no introduction - we all know its good for us with its high VITAMIN A, K and C content & HIGH FIBRE! Butterbeans are not only buttery pillows of loveliness there also pack a punch when it comes to nutrition… they're a great source of PROTIEN, FIBRE & GOOD WHOLE FOOD CARBS.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED: 2-4

1 x tin Butterbeans - drained and rinsed (you could use cannellini beans or chickpeas )

3 garlic cloves - peeled and chopped

10 stalks of kales - Washed & the woody stalks removed and the leaves roughly torn.

1 red chilli, seeds removed and chopped

A good glug of olive oil - approx 1 tbsp

Black pepper

Tamari sauce (or good quality soy sauce)

LET'S GET COOKING:

1. Get all your ingredients ready.

2. You will need biggish frying pan or wok- pop it on a medium heat and drizzle in 1 tablespoon of your olive oil.

3. Add the garlic to the pan and allow it to gently cook for 1 minute stirring regularly to prevent it burning.

4. Tip in your butterbeans and stir into the garlicky oil.

6. Add the gorgeous Kale followed by a splash of tamari & black pepper.

7. Gently fold the kale into the beans, garlic and kale until they are all jumbled together. Let the kale wilt in the pan.

8. Lastly add your chilli to your taste. If you don’t have a fresh chilli, a few chilli flakes will do the trick to give it a spicy kick.

9. This only needs 2 minutes to cook and it ready!

Serve warm - for that extra crunch top with toasted cashews or pumpkin seeds and an extra drizzle of olive oil or a crumble of your favourite cheese.
