1 clove Garlic, raw (minced)
1 small White onions (diced)
1 15 ounce can Canned no salt added white beans (drained and rinsed)
1/8 tsp. Red Pepper Flakes
2 tsp. Dried or rubbed sage
2 small whole (2-2/5 inch dia) Tomatoes (sliced in half)
1/2 tsp., leaves Dried oregano
1 ounce Prosciutto

Instructions

Place the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes.

Add the beans, red pepper flakes, sage, salt, pepper and water. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer, stirring occasionally.

While the beans are simmering place a large skillet in the oven and preheat to 375°F. When the oven is hot spray lightly with olive oil and place the tomatoes in the pan cut side down. Add the prosciutto to the pan.

After about 8 - 10 minutes spray the pan lightly again and add the scallops. Cook for about 6 - 8 minutes and turn. Sprinkle the oregano over the scallops and tomatoes. Cook for another 6 minutes or so.

While the scallops are cooking add the kale and stir. Stir occasionally.

When the scallops are done divide the beans between two plates and top with the scallops and tomatoes. Sprinkle the prosciutto over the top and serve.
