  • 100 g curly kale
  • 150 g fine green beans (stalks removed and cut in half)

Instruction

  • Place a large saucepan of water on the hob and bring to the boil.
  • Add the green beans to the saucepan of boiling water and boil for 3 minutes. Remove the beans from the boiling water using a slotted spoon and plunge into a bowl of cold water.

  • Using a sieve, strain off the water from both the beans and the curly kale and shake well to remove excess water. Place on a sheet of kitchen paper to absorb any further moisture.
