This is an excellent and healthy dish. I loved it and it's really easy. I modified the recipe slightly: *Bragg's Liquid Amino's instead of tamari *added red onions and sauteed with garlic *used spinach for half of the greens - I had it and it needed to be cooked!

I picked these beans up today beacause the recipe (same as the one here) was quick and I already had kale in my basket. Well, after an hour the beans still aren't tender like normal beans but I decided to to continue following along with the recipe. What the heck is Tamari??? I thought it was Tumeric until I looked it up and realized that it's basically the same thing as soy sauce... Duh!!! I added Tumeric but only about a quater of a teaspoon since that stuff is potent. I also added all the liquid to the kale to assist the beans in tenderizing. All the seasonings are now cooking with everything as well. I keep tasting and it's good but not something I think my kids will go for but who know? Sometimes they suprise me! Good luck with this. I know it's healthy and it's relatively inexpensive to make (maybe $5.00 altogether!) but not sure it's really worth it.

This was really good!I wasn't a fan of kale but this changed my mind! It took a lot more water than suggested for the beans. I also added the spices to the oil so they got hot before adding garlic and other ingredients- suppose to make the flavor come out better. Delish, thanks for the recipe!

Didn't use all of the ingredients but instead used what I had on hand. I loved it. Will rate again when I make with all of the ingredients. I also used red kale which I had never had before and found it to be delicious especially in this dish.

Really nice! I used canned adzuki, two c. kale, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, bay leaf, and low sodium teriyaki sauce and added some goat cheese to see how that would do. I like it! It's so fragrant

I do like this on brown rice though I add chopped pickled ginger to it as it seems to be missing something and that did the trick for me. Also did soak the beans before cooking.

I would not make this again--bland. I soaked and cooked the beans for longer than suggested and they still didn't turn out.

Good. Per reviews used less Tamari. Try adding a little chopped apple for some salty sweet texture.

I love this recipe, but I also agree with a previous poster that in its original form it is WAY too salty. This time when I made it, I swapped the measurements for the water and the tamari. 1/4cup Water; 2 Tbsp Tamari, and I added a sprinkle of fleur d'sel at the end. Result = TASTY!! and not too salty!
