This recipe was inspired by a dish that I had at a restaurant in New York City. The dish was so delicious that I knew I had to recreate it at home. I experimented with different ingredients and proportions until I came up with this recipe. I think it is the perfect balance of flavors and textures. This dish is a great way to use up leftover greens and white beans.
