A hearty stew with tender kale, creamy white beans, and rustic potatoes in a rich, savory broth.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling

  • 1 onion, diced

  • 1 stalk celery, sliced

  • 1 carrot, peeled and diced

  • 8 ounces Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 1-inch pieces

  • Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

  • 1 bunch kale, stems removed, leaves torn into small pieces (about 4 cups)

  • 1 (15-ounce) can navy beans, drained and rinsed

  • 2 teaspoons red-wine vinegar

Directions

  • In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, celery, and carrot, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the Yukon Gold potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  • Add 4 cups of water and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and let the stew simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  • Stir in the kale and navy beans, cooking for another 5 minutes until the kale is wilted and the beans are warmed through.
  • Stir in the red-wine vinegar and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper, if needed.
  • Serve hot, drizzled with a little extra olive oil for added richness.
