Description
With only 9 ingredients, this one-pot cheesy beans and greens casserole can be made in under 35 minutes.
Ingredients
Units
- 200g kale, stems and leaves
- 250 ml vegetable stock
- 1 large leek
- 2 cans white beans, drained and rinsed
- 150g jarred artichoke hearts (or substitute for your preferred filling)
- 4 Tbsp/60g creme fraiche
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 ball mozzarella or a handful of melty cheese of choice
- 15g parmesan (optional)
Instructions
- Rinse the kale, then remove the stems from the leaves. Finely chop the kale stems and roughly chop the leaves.
- Place an oven-safe casserole over a medium heat, add a drizzle of oil, and then, once hot, add the kale stems.
- Sautee the stems until they begin to soften. Add in the leaves and half the stock and cook until wilted.
- Remove the kale and liquid from the dish and add to a blender. Blend until a fine puree. Set aside
- Thinly slice leeks and add to the casserole dish, cook over a medium heat until they are soft. Grate in the garlic and cook for 2 more minutes.
- Add in the beans, remaining vegetable stock, pureed kale, and creme fraiche. Season well to taste.
- Half your artichoke hearts or cut your alternative filling into bitesize pieces. The beans should be glossy and saucy at this stage. Add a little more stock or water if necessary to achieve your desired consistency.
- Tear up a ball of fresh mozzarella, and evenly distribute it over the beans and greens, followed by a sprinkle of parmesan.
- Place under the grill at 200C for 10-15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Serve immediately and enjoy.
Serving suggestion: This dish is a wonderful and complete one-pot meal, but if you want to add a side, a bright tangy salad would pair well with this dish or add some crusty garlic bread to swipe through the sauce.
