Scale

1 cup dried Great Northern beans, soaked 8-12 hours

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 small onion, diced (about 1 cup)

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 bay leaf

several shakes red pepper flakes

4 cups water

4 cups chopped greens

1/2 lemon (2 tablespoons juice)

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

IF you forgot to soak the beans, that’s okay. Put them in a pot with enough water to cover, bring to boil over high heat. Boil 1 minute, turn off heat and soak 1 hour. Drain. If you remembered to soak the beans, bully for you. Drain them.

Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat and saute the onion 5 minutes until beginning to brown.

Add garlic, herbs, broth/water and drained beans. Cover and bring to boil over high heat.

Reduce heat and simmer 1 hour or until beans are soft. Remove bay leaf.

Add greens and cook 5-10 minutes more.

Add lemon juice, salt, pepper.

Add cheese at the table.
