Beans and Greens 2

2 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves of garlic, sliced, diced, smashed or crushed
pinch red pepper flakes
5 slices Canadian bacon, diced
One bunch Kale (I prefer the purple for added nutrition, but green is fine), washed and chopped into bite-sized pieces
1 can red beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup beef stock

Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan. Add the garlic, Canadian Bacon and the red pepper flakes. Cook for a moment but do not allow the garlic to burn. Add the Kale to the pan. Put the beans on top of the kale. Add the broth and put the lid on the pan. Allow the greens to steam until tender. Stir and serve.
