Cooking Instructions:

1. TO PREPARE THE VEGETABLES:

Place the butter beans in a colander and rinse under running water. Drain well. Remove the kale leaves from their stalks and discard. Pile the leaves on top of each other and slice into ½ cm strips. Use half the carrot, peel and grate.
2. TO HEAT THE GARLIC PITA:

Place the whole garlic pita in the toaster – if necessary, cut in half and place cut side facing up in the toaster. Cook until golden brown. Remove and cut into triangles.
3. TO COOK THE KALE AND BUTTER BEAN BRAISE:

Place a non-stick pan over a medium heat with 1 tbsp of olive oil. Once hot add the sliced leeks and cook for 3-4 mins. Add the kale and carrot to the pan, season with salt and cook for 2-3 mins. Add the butter beans with the cherry tomato sauce and cook for a further 2-3 mins. Season with black pepper.
TO SERVE:

Spoon the kale and butter bean braise into a serving bowl and dollop with salsa verde. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with garlic pita triangles on the side.
