Method

Beans Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.

  2. 2

    Add the Beans

    Stir in the canned black beans and chickpeas, along with the ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until heated through.

Greens Preparation

  1. 3

    Add the Greens

    To the bean mixture, add the chopped spinach and kale. Pour in the vegetable broth and stir to combine.

  2. 4

    Cook the Greens

    Cover the skillet and allow the mixture to cook for about 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the greens are wilted.

  3. 5

    Finish with Lemon

    Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the lemon juice and red pepper flakes to taste. Adjust seasoning as desired.
