Notes

• Use cooked black-eyed peas and white beans. Dried beans cannot be substituted directly into this cooking method.
• Drain and rinse the canned beans before adding them.
• Keep the stew at a gentle simmer and stir carefully to help the beans retain their shape.
• Remove tough kale stems and check the leaves for tenderness before serving.
• Taste before adding salt, since the vegetable broth and canned ingredients may already contribute enough.
• For a thicker texture, mash a small portion of the beans against the side of the pot and stir them back into the stew.
