Recipe Notes

  • For a thicker sauce, mash some of the beans with a fork to thicken the sauce.
  • Shred the kale leaves as fine as possible when making quick soups and stews, so that each bite will include tender greens instead of a chewy mouthful.
  • Wine Recommendation: Since this dish has a strong Portuguese influence, pair it with a rustic red from Portugal. Try one of the many delicious examples from the Douro or Ribatejo regions for a tasty combination of food and drink.
