Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp canola oil
- 1 onion, peeled and finely chopped
- 2 mild or spicy Italian sausages, squeezed from their casing
- 3-4 garlic cloves, crushed or chopped
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable stock
- 14 oz can diced or stewed tomatoes
- 19 oz can white or red kidney beans, chickpeas or lentils, rinsed and drained
- 1 medium thin-skinned potato, washed and diced
- 1 bunch kale, washed and thinly sliced (discard the ribs)
- salt and pepper, to taste
- Parmesan cheese, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- In a heavy pot set over medium-high heat, heat the oil and sauté the onion for about 5 minutes, until soft. Add the sausage and garlic and cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until it’s no longer pink. Add the stock, stirring to scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pot, then add the tomatoes (with their juices), beans and potato and bring to a simmer. Cook for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Add the kale and stir; cook for 3-4 minutes, until the kale is wilted and tender. Season with salt and pepper and serve hot, with Parmesan cheese to grate on top.
