Very simple & healthy!! Serve this over your choice of pasta or mashed potatoes for a lovely dinner. You can use any type of kale but lacinato is what was called for here. Also if you don't have the leek sub onion or shallots…who cares 🙂 i use home cooked beans but canned is listed for convienence.
