I like making ragouts, the name alone is fun. This recipe is from an unusual source for me, but good none the less. I don’t usually turn to ivillage for recipes, but enjoy…. (I decided to post this recipe, since the presentation on ivillage did not work for me, my eyes wandered all over the place). I’m not sure I would make this exact recipe again, but it was good.
Kale and White Bean Ragout
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 bay leaf
2 cloves garlic, smashed and roughly chopped
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 small red onion, sliced
1 1/2 pounds Tuscan kale, rinsed, patted dry, and cut crosswise into 1-inch-wide slices
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more if needed
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more if needed
3 1/2 cups cooked white beans, or two 15-ounce cans cannellini beans or white beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup canned diced tomatoes, with their juices
1/2 cup vegetable or chicken stock, or canned low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
