Method
- Heat the butter and 2 tsp oil in a sauté pan and soften the onion over a low heat for 8 mins, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and cook for 2 mins, then pour in the beans and stock; bring to a gentle bubble then cook for 10-12 mins until the beans are soft and the stock has reduced.
- Meanwhile, massage the remaining oil, crushed chillies and a pinch of salt into the kale, add to an air-fryer and cook at 180°C for 3 mins, shaking the drawer halfway, until crisp (or crisp in the oven at gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C for 10-12 mins).
- Remove the pan from the heat, stir through the pecorino, lemon zest and juice. Season generously with black pepper. Stir the beans so that they break down a little, keeping some texture, then stir through the parsley. Pile the crispy kale on top and serve with warmed flatbreads for scooping.
