Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic, and sauté—stirring occasionally—until they’re soft, fragrant, and translucent.
Add the chopped kale to the pan and sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring now and then. Sprinkle in fresh thyme, a pinch of salt, and Aleppo pepper. Pour in ½ cup of water or broth, the juice of one lemon, and 2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar. Stir well, then let it simmer until the kale is tender and wilted—about 10–15 minutes.
Stir in the cherry tomatoes, mixing them well with the kale and seasonings. Let them warm through and soften slightly for a pop of flavor.
Stir the white beans into the pan, making sure they’re well combined with the kale and tomatoes. Let everything simmer gently for about 8 minutes, giving the flavors time to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of red wine vinegar, and the juice of one lemon. Drizzle this bright dressing over the skillet just before serving.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan over the beans and vegetables just before serving. Stir gently so the cheese melts into the dish. For a final flourish, add fresh thyme leaves and a splash of lemon juice to brighten every bite.
