Notes about this recipe

  • Eat Your Books

    Parmesan cheese is only an optional ingredient in this recipe.

    This has many of the flavours that I like: lemon, beans, kale. I made half of the recipe, which worked out well to be able to cook the beans ( I used cannellini). I used normal vine tomatoes, but I think it would turn out better with cherry tomatoes. I forgot to add parmesan at the end but I'm sure it will make it even more delicious. A pretty easy dinner, if not super filling (even though I ended up using three slices of bread!)

    This didn’t really work for us. It reminded me of a Heidi Swanson recipe I often cook but that one uses cabbage and cannellini beans which I find to be a more appealing combination. The instructions were a bit vague - next time I’d remove the tomatoes before cooking the kale as the juice from the tomatoes stopped the kale from becoming crispy. Not sure I got the texture of the beans as intended. As with other recipes by this author I can’t help feeling the recipe was tested for a smaller number of servings. I don’t think many people have a pan big enough to cook two cans of butter beans in a single layer so if making the full quantity it really is essential to do them in batches.

    Very tasty, but mine ended up with too much liquid. I think I needed to spin the kale after washing. Also, not particularly filling.

    Really delicious! It's definitely worth popping the beans in batches.

    Next time I would cook butter beans in batches, and kale by itself in the pan so they crisp up more. Lemon is essential! Very good with crusty bread.
