From the post on Serious Eats: “Beans and greens are a classic duo that works for saucing pasta, topping crusty grilled bread, or on its own as a simple and hearty soup. For this simple weeknight recipe, we give creamy white beans and earthy lacinato kale a funky, fiery, porky boost with the addition of ‘nduja.”
Now the queston is – what the heck is ‘nduja? And the answer is not gonna thrill you: PORK. Poor people’s ground pork, which means the stuff nobody wanted to eat mixed with such spicy stuff you don’t mind so much.
The answer to that problem about the pork is a video I found on youtube called Miami Vegan Nduja Made Nice, by Ellen Kanner
