Beans and Greens Dip

kalebean.JPG

Ingredients:

1 Tbsp avocado oil

1 Bunch of organic kale (washed and thick stems removed)*

2 Cloves of minced garlic

Juice of 1/2 lemon

1 {BPA free} can or box of cannelini beans

*Any greens will do. I’ve done dinosaur kale, curly kale, spinach, etc.


Directions:

Heat a large frying pan over medium heat. Add avocado oil and garlic and saute 1-2 minutes. Add torn kale and saute until tender, about 5-7 minutes while stirring.

Add sauteed greens to a food processor and process until only small pieces remain. Add beans and lemon juice and puree.

Feed to baby with a spoon or after it’s refrigerated, drop little balls on their high chair tray and let them feed themselves. This is also good with crackers for adults (add salt and more lemon juice if desired) and can be made ahead and frozen in little 4oz mason jars.
