Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • pinch of salt
  • 1/4 cup pot or pearl barley
  • 3/4 lb chorizo or Andouille sausage
  • 8 sun-dried tomato halves, thinly sliced, or 1/2 cup thinly sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced, or to taste
  • 6 stalks kale
  • 19 oz can cannellini (white kidney) or Romano beans*, drained
Imperial – Metric

Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan, bring water and salt to a boil. Add barley; return to a boil, then cover and reduce heat. Simmer for 40 minutes.
  • Heat a large non-stick skillet. Meanwhile, dice sausage and then toss it into the pan, stirring to brown lightly. If dried tomatoes are very firm, soak for several minutes in warm water; drain and thinly slice. Add to the skillet. Then stir in garlic and sauté briefly.
  • Remove ribs from kale and thinly slice leaves. Add to skillet along with cooked barley and cannellini beans; cook until kale is slightly wilted.

Notes

Sprinkle with crushed red pepper, if you’d like more spice.
