?2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
?3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
?1/4 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
?1 large bunch greens (such as spinach, mustard greens, kale, or broccoli rabe; about 1 pound), thick stems removed, spinach left whole, other greens cut into 1-inch strips (about 10 cups packed)
?1 cup (or more) vegetable broth or low-salt chicken broth
?1 15-ounce can cannellini (white kidney beans), rinsed, drained

Here is how you make Greens with Garlic and Beans:

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and dried crushed pepper; stir until garlic is pale golden, about 1 minute. Add greens by large handfuls; stir just until beginning to wilt before adding more, tossing with tongs to coat with oil. Add 1 cup broth, cover, and simmer until greens are just tender, adding more broth by tablespoonfuls if dry, 1 to 10 minutes, depending on type of greens. Add beans; simmer uncovered until beans are heated through and liquid is almost absorbed, about 2 minutes. Stir in 1 teaspoon vinegar. Season with salt and pepper, and more vinegar if desired; drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon oil and serve. Number of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user JOY1918.
