Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 small shallots, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 pound mustard greens or kale, stems removed and leaves sliced into 1-inch strips
- juice from 1 lemon
- 2 teaspoons light brown sugar
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 14.5-ounce can vegetable broth
- 1 28-ounce can whole or diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 15-ounce can white beans, drained
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
- Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-low heat. Add the shallots and cook for 4 minutes. Add the garlic and greens and cook, stirring frequently, until the greens begin to wilt, 3 to 5 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice, the brown sugar, bay leaf, red pepper, broth, and tomatoes and their juices. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer gently until the greens are tender, about 15 minutes.
- Add the beans and cook for 5 minutes. Remove and discard the bay leaf. Season with the salt, black pepper, and (if desired) the remaining lemon juice.

Quick Tip
Beans made from scratch have better flavor, but the cooking can take hours. Canned beans are a solid alternative, if you rinse
and drain them well.

FRESH PICK
Cranberries
High in vitamin C, these hard, tart berries are grown in bogs in colder regions of North America and Europe. They’re almost
always eaten cooked, as in the classic Thanksgiving relish.
