→ Beans
01 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
02 - 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
03 - 2 (15-ounce) cans cannellini beans, drained and rinsed (or 3 cups cooked beans)
04 - 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
05 - 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
06 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

07 - 6 cups winter greens (kale, Swiss chard, or collard greens), tough stems removed and chopped
08 - 1/2 cup low-sodium vegetable broth (or water)
09 - Zest and juice of 1 lemon
→ Garnish
10 - 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)

# Directions:
01 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden.
02 - Add cannellini beans, crushed red pepper flakes, kosher salt, and black pepper. Cook gently for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring to prevent mashing the beans.
