This recipe can be made with kale, chard or most any of the other greens we receive from the co-op. It’s easy and v    versatile too; it makes a great side dish or a sauce served over pasta.

• 1 large onion, sliced
• 2-3 cloves garlic, chopped
• 3 Tbsp olive oil (or more as needed)
• 1-2 tsp. smoked Spanish paprika (sweet or hot, we prefer hot at our house, or you can use sweet and add
• some cayenne)
• 1 bunch kale (or chard, etc.) coarsely chopped
• 1 can white beans
• salt and pepper to taste

1. Sauté onion and garlic in olive oil until softened.
2. Stir in paprika and cook for another minute or two.
3. Add the chopped greens and cook until softened.
4. Add a can of white beans, undrained, or the equivalent amount of cooked beans with some of their cooking liquid. Cook partially covered until kale is the consistency you like. Add some water or broth (or pasta cooking water if you’re serving it with pasta) to keep it somewhat “saucy.”
