Butter Beans with Kale & Capers
I don’t recall when I first combined kale & capers, but it is certainly a winning combination. The salty brine of the capers and the thick texture of the kale are reminiscent of seaweed. Paired with creamy white beans, this is a delicious, healthy, quick and easy meal that I make again and again. I usually use dry navy beans, this time I tried it with a can of butter beans that had been sitting in the cupboard, and I think it turned out even better than usual with the larger soft beans. I imagine that black-eyed peas would work well too.
Butter Beans with Kale & Capers
serves 2
1 bunch kale, thick stems removed
1 T olive oil
6 cloves chopped garlic
1/3 c capers in brine
salt
1 c cooked Butter Beans
lemon wedges (to plate)
Saute the garlic in the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat until just beginning to brown. Add the kale and salt to taste. When the kale has begun to wilt, add the capers and beans and cook just until heated through.
Serve with lemon wedges.
