Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 small yellow onions diced
  • 4 garlic cloves thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium vegetable broth or chicken broth plus more as needed (a high-quality bone broth is best)
  • 2 tbsp white miso paste
  • 1 14 oz can cannellini beans, drained
  • 1 bunch about 3 cups lacinato kale, stems removed and chopped
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • Crusty bread for serving

Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil in a large, high-sided skillet over medium-high heat. When shimmering, add the onions and cook, stirring often, for 20-25 minutes until browned caramelized. If the onions start to look dry or burn at any point, deglaze the pan with a splash of broth until they reach a jammy consistency.
  • While the onions caramelize, add the miso to a small bowl with 2 tbsp of water. Whisk together until smooth and set aside.
  • Add the garlic, beans and remaining broth to the pan. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5-10 minutes or until thickened. Turn off the heat and stir in the chopped kale, covering the pan to allow it to wilt.
  • Stir in the miso mixture and lemon juice. Serve with a drizzle of olive oil, lots of freshly ground black pepper and crusty bread.
