Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, crushed
  • 1 (28 ounce) can Tuttorosso® San Marzano Style Hand Crushed Tomatoes in Puree with Basil & Sea Salt
  • 2 tablespoons rosemary, or thyme
  • 2 cups chicken stock, or vegetable stock
  • 2 cans chickpeas, drained
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for serving
  • parmesan rind, optional
  • 1 bunch Swiss chard, stems removed, leaves finely chopped or hand ripped
  • 1/2 lemon, juiced, plus wedges for serving (optional)
  • Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, shaved for serving
  • flaky sea salt, for serving

Instructions

Step one

Heat olive oil in a large skillet with deep sides over medium-high heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring often, for about 1 minute. Add red pepper flakes, followed by the Tuttorosso San Marzano Style Hand Crushed Tomatoes with Basil & Sea Salt, and herbs. Stir, then cook 1-2 minutes more. 

Step two

Add stock, then add the drained chickpeas, season with salt and pepper. Add in the parmesan rind and Swiss chard. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then cover, reduce the temperature slightly, and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. 

Step three

When the beans are tender and the Swiss chard has wilted, stir in the juice of half a lemon. Remove the parmesan rind. Adjust seasoning to taste. 

Step four

Serve immediately with shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano, a pinch of flaky sea salt, cracked black pepper, and more lemon wedges, if desired.
