Vegetables and Beans is a typical side dish of Abruzzese peasant cuisine, a rich and nutritious vegetarian dish. This dish is one of my favorite side dishes that I have been eating since I was a child; my grandmother used to prepare it to accompany roast pork. Making vegetables and beans is very simple, for the preparation you need mixed greens such as chard, turnip tops, chicory, and all the field greens found in winter.

To make vegetables and beans, soak the beans the night before, or at least for 6/8 hours. After the night, drain the legumes and rinse them under running water; then boil them in boiling water and once cooked, drain them.
Wash and clean the greens, then cook them in plenty of salted boiling water. Once ready, drain them.

Then add the beans and cook in the pan for about 10 minutes.
