Heat a Tbs. olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium. Add the chopped ham and cook until you start to see a little browning here and there, about five minutes. Add the beans along with the chopped garlic, sautéing another two minutes, until the garlic is fragrant. Add the stock and chopped kale, simmering on medium until the kale wilts and the flavors have a chance to build, about ten minutes. (You may need to add the kale in batches, but you’re still a good person.)
Taste and add a pinch of salt! Garnish with parmesan and serve immediately with crusty bread. Beyond simple. You’ll obsess.
Serves 4!
