Take a thick slice of gammon and grind a little black pepper over it (approx 250 g or more)
Open and drain out the tin of butter beans - give the a little rinse to get that liquid off them.Then tip them into a saucepan, covering with water and bring to the boil. Once they boil, turn down the heat and simmer for around 7 minutes. Then drain and leave in the saucepan
Next, heat a tablespoon of olive oil in your frying pan and add in your gammonFry for approx 6 minutes per side (or until firm) and you see that nice light golden colour on the fat. Take off the heat and put on a plate.(*you will need the frying pan in a minute so don't wash away the lovely gammon juices)
In the saucepan the beans are in, add 4 tablespoons of olive oil, grind in some black pepper and a pinch of sea salt and using just a fork 'mash' the beans. NB. if you want ultra smooth beans, use a food processor but this is a quick, less 'clean-up' method
Lastly, take two handfuls kale and fry in the pan the gammon was in so it gets all those juices and flavours. Keep stirring it around so it doesn't burn. I add a few chilli flakes here as well just for a bit of heat but it's up to you
Serve up and enjoy
Notes
TIP:To stop the gammon steak curling as it cooks, cut a few scores into the fat
