Beans and Greens

Ingredients:

6 stalks celery, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 onion, diced
1 bag fresh kale, roughly chopped
1 can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
4 tbsp soy sauce
extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

1. In a large pan, saute the celery, garlic, and onion together on medium heat. Cook until beginning to soften.

2. Add the kale and cover the pan. If needed, add 1/2 to 1 cup of water to help the kale begin to wilt. Keep covered so the kale steams down. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

3. Once the kale has cooked down significantly, add the cannellini beans and soy sauce. Cook together for another 5-10 minutes, or until beans have warmed through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
