Ingredients

• 2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
• 1-2 tbsp Olive oil
• 8oz Chicken or Veggie Broth
• 1 can Cannelloni Beans or Great Northern Beans or Black-eyed Peas (drain and rinsed)
• 0.5-1 tbsp Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
• 1 Bunch Kale or Collard Greens (soak/rinse, drain, and dry off if you can)
• salt (to taste, at the end)
• (optional) 1 tsp onion granules

Steps

1. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat (cast iron is awesome for this)
2. Once oil is warm/hot, add garlic and stir for ~2 minutes (don't let it get brown)
3. Add greens in handfuls and wilt. oil will pop and splatter, relish your burned flesh!
4. As you add greens in handfuls, stir to mix garlic, oil, and greens - add red pepper flakes while you do this (optional: add some shakes of those onion granules)
5. After all greens have been added and partially wilted, add broth and add beans
6. Let simmer 5-10-15 minutes: honestly up to you based on how much liquid you want.

You can also use chard, but adjust the cooking times to it doesn't turn in to a fucking mush. Kale and Collard greens are more hearty, and can take the longer cooking time. Feel free to add browned bacon/pork bits or whatever for extra savory, especially if you're going to collard green & blcked eyed peas route.
