I love a big bowl of wilted kale and cannellini beans on its own, but it’s also excellent as an accompaniment to fish or you can fold it into pasta. I even make it into soup sometimes by adding stock. It’s such a tasty combination, it works any which way. 

In a large pan, sauté the onion, carrots and garlic in the olive oil until they are soft.

Add the kale and stir frequently – add more olive oil here if necessary. Cook until the kale is wilted.

Add the cannellini beans, salt and pepper. Cook for another 10-15 minutes, and serve.

Top tip: you can also add this recipe to 6 cups of vegetable stock and make the most delicious soup.
