Ingredients

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (preferably strong and spicy)

1/4 teaspoon dried chili pepper flakes or to taste

2 large garlic cloves – skinned and finely chopped

2 small bunches Tuscan kale (about 7 oz) – remove stems from mature leaves and tear them in 2” pieces;

for young leaves keep the stems and cut leaves in 2” pieces

1/2 cup spring water

1–15oz can cannellini beans – drained

1/2 teaspoon sea salt or to taste

freshly ground black pepper to taste

6 to 8 large country bread slices – 1/2" thick

1 large garlic clove – skinned and left whole

Directions

Heat a large heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat.

Add the olive oil, chili pepper flakes and garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.

Add the kale and sauté for an additional 2 minutes, tossing frequently, until wilted.

Add the water, toss again, cover the pan and reduce heat to medium-low. Braise for 8 to 9 minutes until kale is tender. Add the beans, salt and pepper to taste, toss well, raise heat to high and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes until beans are warmed through and all the juices have evaporated. Remove from heat and set aside.
