Ingredients

  • 200 g (7.1 oz) green beans ends trimmed
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 200 g (7.1 oz) kale coarse parts of the stems removed and chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic very finely chopped
  • 0.25 tsp salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 0.25 lemon juice only

Instructions

  • Add the trimmed beans to a saucepan of boiling water. Season with the tsp of salt and cook for 2 minutes.   Drain and rinse under cold water, then set aside.
  • In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the oil over a medium heat. Add the kale, garlic, salt and season well with freshly ground black pepper.   Toss or stir with tongs for 2 minutes, then add the blanched green beans.   Continue stirring for another 2 minutes until the kale has wilted down.
  • Turn off the heat and squeeze over the lemon juice. Stir, then check the seasoning, adding more if needed.   Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy!

Notes

  • Get ahead – the beans can be blanched earlier in the day.   Cool and then keep in the fridge until needed at step 2.
  • This sautéed kale and green beans recipe is easily adapted if you’re cooking for less or more people.
