Instructions
Cut any large stems from the kale into small pieces and coarsely chop the remaining mixture. Set aside.
In a medium to large skillet over medium heat, add the ¼ cup of olive oil and once hot, add shallots, garlic, Herbs De Provence, cumin, salt and pepper and sauté until the shallots are tender, about 4-5 minutes. Remove this mixture to a bowl to cool.
Add two tablespoons of oil to the same pan and once hot, add kale mixture. Cook to wilt, about 2-3 minutes. Remove to cool.
In the bowl of a food processor, add drained beans and pulse until pureed almost smooth. A few small pieces left are fine.
Add cooled shallot and oil mixture and pulse just to combine.
Pour mixture out into a medium bowl and stir in cooked kale to combine.
Refrigerate until chilled and to serve, pour into a serving bowl and swirl the top, then pour a little olive oil into the swirls and finally grate some fresh Parmesan over the top and serve with your favorite crackers.
