Worthy of a Special Occasion
Chock-full of vegetables, this one-pot ragout—a thick, well-seasoned stew—warms up a chilly winter evening. If you've never had kale, this dish makes the most of its sweet, earthy flavor.
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 3/4 cups)
Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 (4-ounce) links chicken sausage, cut into (1/2-inch) slices
1 zucchini, quartered and cut into (1/2-inch) slices (about 2 cups)
3 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
6 cups chopped trimmed kale (about 1/2 pound)
1/2 cup water
2 (16-ounce) cans cannellini beans or other white beans, rinsed and drained
1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Preparation
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté onion and sausage 4 minutes or until sausage is browned. Add zucchini and garlic; cook 2 minutes. Add kale and remaining ingredients; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Serve immediately.

ok Lindsay...need lesson 101 on posting pictures with this..I copied the picture, but it didn't post...sorry...the recipe is still really good though.
ReplyDeleteSounds delicious! - Do you serve it over rice or noodles or anything? And kale - so now you have two winners with kale. You might actually be able to use a whole bunch with out having to throw some out if you plan right!
ReplyDeleteI actually even got a really nice bunch of Kale this time....I almost called to see if you wanted to pick the rest up, but thought maybe I'd find another use for it. It is so healthy. Speaking of healthy, this recipe has to be. The answer to your question is "no." Ate it out of a bowl with a side salad. There isn't a lot of liquid on it, and this is the first time I've ever prepared "ragout." ra·gout (r-g)
ReplyDeleten.
A well-seasoned meat or fish stew, usually with vegetables.
...Tom was a little leary of the smashed whole garlic cloves, but you know, after they cook, they are quite mild and of course,healthy. What can I say?
I am buying Kale - and this is what I am making for dinner on Saturday! I am sure that Tuscan soup will follow!
ReplyDeleteCindy - I am sorry it took me so long to post a comment!
ReplyDelete1st, the recipe looks great and I am excited to try it! I have never had, tried, or bought kale, so it will be a first for me. Looking forward to it!
