Kale and White Bean Stew
Kale is the perfect healthy boost to this delicious white bean stew. Soak your beans overnight. Discard the soaking water and rinse your beans before cooking them. It will reduce flatulence and speed the cooking time. I recommend to double or triple proportions to make soup for several days. The cooking time will remain the same.
Ingredients
- 1 cup uncooked white beans (soaked overnight)
- 3 cups kale chopped
- 2 medium carrots
- 1 stalk celery 1 small onion
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 tsp dried rosemary (dried sage and cumin)
- 1/2 tsp red pepper kernel and
- a dash of sea salt and black pepper (do not salt during the bean cooking process, but after, otherwise the beans will not soften.)
- 1 tsp lemon juice to serve
