Ingredients

    1 Large bunch, or 2 small bunches, broccoli rabe or Kale, thick stems separated from leaves
    1/4 Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
    4 cloves Garlic
    1 medium red or yellow onion, thinly sliced
    Kosher salt and black pepper
    2-3 tablespoons of Tomato Paste (or harissa)
    3 (15 oz.) cans large white beans such as cannellini, butter or great northern, drained and rinsed
    4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
    1 preserved lemon, thinly sliced, or 1 lemon, halved, for squeezing
    2 Ounces feta or other salty cheese, such as quasi fresco or pecorino, crumbled
    1 cup Herb, Parsley, Fresh
    3 fl oz Lemon Juice
    Hot pepper flakes
    Fried or medium-boiled eggs, for serving (optional)

Directions

Tear broccoli rabe or kale leaves into bite-size pieces and set aside. Chop the stems into about 1/3 inch pieces, set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add garlic and onion, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and sizzled at the edges, 4-6 minutes
Add barista (or tomato paste and pinch of red-pepper flakes) and stir to coat in the oil. Cook until the harissa is a nice brick red color, the sugars start to caramelize and the oil turns a nice vibrant fiery orange color, about 2 minutes.
Add beans, and season with salt and pepper. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, crush in a few beans to release their creamy interior.
Add the broth and reserved stems, and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook until you've reached your desired consistency (less time for a brother soup, more time for a thicker stew), 15 to20 minutes.
Add broccoli rabe or Kale leaves and preserved lemon or lemon juice, and stir to wilt the greens. Season with salt, pepper and more red-pepper flakes if you want it spicier.
Serve with feta and parsley, and with eggs, if you like.
