Ingredients
- 98.6 g Beans, white, mature seeds, raw
- 65 g Basmati Rice
- 150 g TUSCAN KALE, TUSCAN
- 3 g WALNUT OIL
- 100 g ONIONS, WHITE
Method
- 01Soak the white beans overnight, then simmer in fresh water until tender, about 45-60 minutes. Drain, reserving a cup of cooking liquid.

- 04Meanwhile, steam the Tuscan kale until vibrant green and tender, about 5 minutes. Season lightly with salt.
- 05Cook the basmati rice using the absorption method until fluffy.
- 06To plate: Mound the spiced white bean wat on one side of a wide bowl. Arrange the steamed kale alongside. Serve with the fragrant basmati rice. Serve warm, ensuring the aromatic turmeric base is the star.
