Vegan Tuscan Kale Bruschetta

Prep the ingredients

1. Strip the kale from the stems, rinse thoroughly, then chop roughly. It doesn’t need to be a fine chop, as the kale will wilt into the bruschetta. Set aside.
2. Rinse the grape tomatoes, and set aside.
3. Open the can of beans and pour them into a colander. Drain and rinse thoroughly. Set aside.
4. Cut a lemon in half.
5. Slice a loaf of bread, and transfer those slices to a toaster oven (or the regular oven.)

Make the bruschetta

1. Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, drizzle in the olive oil, and warm.
2. Add the kale to the skillet, and stir with a wooden spoon.
3. As the kale begins wilting, add the tomatoes to the pan.
4. Continue moving the kale and tomatoes around the skillet. When the tomatoes begin blistering, add the rinsed beans. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Cook until the kale is completely wilted, the beans are soft, and the tomatoes are blistered and beginning to fall apart. Squeeze in the lemon juice.
6. Remove from the heat.
7. Using a spoon, transfer the kale mixture to the toasted bread.
8. Serve immediately, and enjoy warm.
