Ingredients

3 cups water
12 cups torn kale (about 1 bunch)
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 1/2 cups finely chopped onion
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 cup diced seeded plum tomato
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper
2 garlic cloves, minced

Bring 3 cups water to a boil in a large Dutch oven; add kale. Cook 6 minutes or until tender; drain in a colander over a bowl, reserving 1 cup cooking liquid.
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and oregano; saute 5 minutes. Add tomato, salt, crushed red pepper, and minced garlic; saute 1 minute. Stir in kale, reserved liquid, and beans; cook 3 minutes.
