I have been trying to use more dark leafy greens in my cooking. They seem to have more nutrients than some other veggies. I found this recipe and it was so easy that I prepared it that very day! My husband and I both agree it is wonderful. You could use any greens such as chard, turnip, beet, or collard. What ever you are used to. A splash of vinegar (sherry, red wine or cider) is a nice touch right at the end of cooking.

How To Make kale with sausage and white beans

  • 1
    Heat olive oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat and add the bulk sausage; if you can't find bulk, use links but remove casings. Cook for 3-4 minutes.
  • 2
    Add the onion slices and turn the heat to high. Cook until the edges of the onions brown, about 3-4 minutes.
  • 3
    Add the garlic and cook for another minute
  • 4
    Add the kale, sprinkle salt over everything, then add the chicken stock. Cover the pan, lower the heat to medium and cook for 2 minutes
  • 5
    Uncover, mix everything well (the kale will have cooked down by now) and add the beans.
  • 6
    Cover the pot again and lower the heat to low. Cook another 5 minutes, then turn off the heat. Let stand 5 minutes, then serve.
