Abra Berens&apos; Greens + Bean Pot Licker

Olive oil

1 onion (about 8 oz [225 g]), thinly sliced

4 garlic cloves, minced

Salt

2 bunches broccolini (about 1½ lb [675 g]), ends trimmed and stalks cut into 2 in [5 cm] pieces

1 bunch mustard greens or other hearty greens, such as kale or collards (about 8 oz [225 g]), rinsed and cut into 1 in [2.5 cm] ribbons

1 cup [200 g] boiled beans

2 cups [500 ml] bean pot liquor (from a previous bean session)

2 Tbsp [30 ml] vinegar, any variety (optional)

In a large frying or sauté pan, heat 2 big glugs of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the onions and garlic with a big pinch of salt and sweat until soft, 7 minutes or so.
Add the broccolini and hearty greens and toss to coat.
Add the beans and their pot liquor.
Increase the heat to high to bring to a boil, then lower to a low simmer and cook, uncovered, until the broccolini and greens are just about to fall apart, 15 to 20 minutes.
If it starts to get dry along the way, add a bit of water.
Add the vinegar if the dish needs a bit of pep.
Serve with bread to soak up the liquid and several gratings of any hard cheese, if you like.
