Ingredients

-1 cup fresh breadcrumbs
-⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
-1 Tbs. plus 2 tsp. olive oil, divided
-1 Tbs. unsalted butter
-8 oz. cremini mushrooms, quartered (2 cups)
-3 cloves garlic, minced (1 Tbs.)
-2 bunches Tuscan kale, stemmed, torn into bite-size pieces (8 cups)
-1 15.5-oz. can white beans, rinsed and drained

Directions

1. Combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan, and 2 tsp. oil in small bowl. Set aside.

3. Uncover pan, add garlic, and stir 30 seconds. Add kale, and cook 2 minutes, or until wilted. Add beans, broth, and 3/4 cup water. Cover, and simmer 6 to 8 minutes, or until liquid has reduced by about three-quarters. Stir in 1 tsp. lemon juice, and remove from heat. Add 1 more tsp. lemon juice, if desired.
