Step-by-Step Instructions for Greens and Beans with King Oscar Sardines
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add 3 large smashed and minced garlic cloves along with 1 teaspoon of chili flakes. Sauté for about 1 minute, or until the garlic is just softened and fragrant.
- Gradually add the roughly chopped kale to the skillet in batches, allowing each batch to wilt fully before adding more. Stir for about 2-3 minutes until the kale is tender and vibrant green. Once wilted, transfer the kale to a bowl and set aside for now.
- In the same skillet, pour in ½ cup of low-sodium vegetable broth and bring it to a gentle simmer. Next, add the drained and rinsed cannellini beans, cooking for about 5 minutes until they are warmed through.
- Return the wilted kale to the skillet and mix it with the beans and broth. Stir in ⅓ cup of roughly chopped Castelvetrano olives, allowing the flavors to meld together. Cook for another minute.
- Gently add 1 tin of King Oscar's Royal Selection Brisling sardines along with their oil into the skillet, followed by 2 tablespoons of fresh-squeezed lemon juice and 1 teaspoon of lemon zest. Carefully stir to combine.
- Season the dish with sea salt and cracked black pepper to taste, giving it a final stir. Serve warm, ideally with toasted baguette slices.

Notes
Garlic should only soften while sautéing for optimal flavor. To prevent a soggy texture, avoid overcooking the cannellini beans.
