• 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 small red onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 bunch kale, roughly chopped
• 1 bunch beet greens, roughly chopped

• 1 (15 ounce) can cannellini beans, drained
Directions
1. Microwave the chopped pancetta or bacon on high for 3 minutes. Drain the drippings, and set the crispy pancetta aside.
2. In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Cook onion in oil until soft. Add the crushed garlic cloves, and cook a minute more. Stir in chopped greens, and season with salt to taste (be conservative at this point - you can always add more!). Partially cover the pan, and cook until the greens begin to wilt. Stir in crispy pancetta and cannellini beans. Cook partially covered for 5 more minutes, until the flavors have combined and the greens are tender.
