Heat the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat and sweat the fennel until softened, roughly 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the fennel seeds, thyme and garlic and cook out for 2-3 mins.
Tip in the beans with all of their liquid, plus half a jar of water. Allow to bubble away, stirring until the broth becomes thick.
Reduce the heat slightly and stir in the lemon juice and greens. Cook until the greens have wilted down and the liquid is thick and starchy. Season to taste.
Serve in bowls with an extra drizzle of olive oil and the lemon zest.
