Mix well and set the bowl aside to marinate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">Warm the beans and minced garlic with a couple of tablespoons of water. You can do this in your smallest sauce pan on the stove over medium-low heat (saut\u00e9 the garlic in a drizzle of olive oil before adding the beans) or in a bowl in the microwave. Add little splashes of water as necessary. Use a fork to mash up the beans a little and add salt to taste, if necessary.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">Warm the tortilla in a skillet or in the microwave for a few seconds. Top the tortilla with the black bean mixture, sliced avocado and marinated kale (you may end up with more kale than will fit in your burrito, which you can serve on the side as a salad). Top with red onion and feta.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"aligncenter\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">Roll up the burrito by first folding the tortilla over from the bottom to partially cover the beans and greens, then fold in the 2 sides; finish rolling and put the burrito seam side down on a plate. Slice in half, if desired, and serve with sour cream or plain Greek yogurt on the side if you\u2019d like. This is one of my favorite easy vegetarian meals.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000\">BROCCOLI, CHILLI AND ARTICHOKE PASTA<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">Serves:\u00a0Six<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000\"> Preparation Time: 10\/15 minutes<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000\"> Cooking Time: 15 minutes<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">Ingredients:<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000\"> \u2013 350g\/2 oz\/ 3 cups dried gnocchi pasta<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000\"> \u2013 300g\/ 1 1 oz broccoli florets<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000\"> \u2013 90ml\/ 6 tbsp olive oil<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000\"> \u2013 1 large garlic clove, crushed<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000\"> \u2013 2.5-5ml\/ 1\/2-1 tsp dried chilli flakes<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000\"> \u2013 185g\/6 1\/2 cup artichoke hearts in oil, drained<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000\"> \u2013 salt and freshly ground black epper<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000\"> \u2013 15ml\/1 tbsp chopped fresh flat leaf parsley, to garnish<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000\"> \u2013 grated Pecorino, for sprinking (optional)<\/span><\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center\">\n<\/h6>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">Method:<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000\"> 1.
