Next add 1 clove sliced garlic and continue to cook for 2 more minutes.
  3. Flambé with ¼ cup white wine and let reduce to syrup consistency, then add ¼ cup vegetable stock, ½ cup beans, 2 oz. blanched kale and vegetable broth and sauté for 3 minutes or until greens are slightly wilted. Add 1 Tbsp butter and swirl pan until it melts. Season with salt and pepper.
