  2. Heat a dry skillet over high heat. Sear the lemon halves face down
  3. Bring the beans to another boil and skim once more.
  4. Wrap the herbs (minus some oregano) in butcher twine to keep them together. Add the herbs, the lemons, pepper, and the fat to the beans. You want enough fat to cover the the liquid completely. Make up any lack of fat with olive oil. Add some salt.

  6. When the beans are done, remove the herb bundle, add the sherry vinegar and the extra oregano sprig. Salt if needed. Cook at the same bare simmer for 10-20 min.
  7. Stem the greens and wash to remove sand. Remove the last oregano sprig. Turn the heat off and add the greens.
  8. Tear the bread into small pieces. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Add the bread and toss until crispy. Season with salt.
  9. Prepare the aioli. Add the yolk to a bowl. Juice a half lemon and grate a garlic clove. Add the 1 ish cup of olive oil, 1 drop at a time, to the yolk mix. Whisking to incorporate until a lose mayo forms.
  10. Scoop the beans into a deep bowl, dollop with aioli and then garnish with the toasted bread.
