Servings: persons

4 tablespoons butter
2 15-ounce cans cannellini beans or white kidney beans
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 6-ounce can tomato paste
3 to 4 cups chicken or vegetable stock
2 bunches lacinato kale, stems removed, sliced into about 1 inch strips
1 teaspoon salt
freshly ground black pepper
zest of 1/2 a lemon
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, plus more for serving

1
In a large pan over medium heat, melt the butter and cook until it begins to take on a tan color and smell nutty. Add the beans and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and break up a bit, about 3-4 minutes. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes, cook for 1 minute. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, for another minute.
2
Add about 3 cups of the stock, stir to combine. Then add the kale, salt, and pepper to taste. Stir well. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes, until the kale is tender and the liquid has thickened. You may need to add more stock as it cooks.
3
When the kale is ready, turn off the heat and check for seasonings (keep in mind that you'll be adding salty parmesan cheese). Add the lemon zest and cheese. To serve, top with extra parmesan cheese.
