Beans and Greens with Corn Bread Croutons
Ingredients
  • 12 ounces  purchased or prepared corn bread
  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 2 tablespoons  finely shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 3 tablespoons  olive oil
  • 1 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoons  red wine or balsamic vinegar
  • 1 15 ounce can no-salt added cannellini beans (white kidney beans), rinsed and drained
  • 2 1 pound packages collard greens (torn), curly endive (torn), or baby spinach
  • 1/4 teaspoon  salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon  ground black pepper
  • Finely shredded Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • Crushed red pepper (optional)
Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. For croutons, cut corn bread into 1-inch cubes (about 4-1/2 cups). Place cubes in a 15x10x1-inch baking pan; lightly coat with cooking spray. Bake about 10 minutes or until crisp and golden. Remove from oven; sprinkle with the 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese.

2. In a 12-inch skillet heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium heat. Add onion; cook for 4 to 5 minutes until tender. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the vinegar. Add beans; heat through. Transfer to a bowl; cover to keep warm.

3. Add remaining oil to skillet. Add greens; cook and stir, in batches if necessary, just until wilted. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper; drizzle with the remaining vinegar. To serve, top greens with beans and croutons. If desired, top with additional Parmesan cheese and sprinkle with crushed red pepper.
