Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil6 small cloves garlic, sliced thin2 links soy chorizo1 cup homemade vegetable stock2 bags Fresh Express Baby Kale Mix1 14.5-ounce can Great Northern beans, drained and rinsed1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Directions
Place a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Add the oil to the warm pan, then add the garlic. Cook 3-4 minutes, stirring often so the garlic doesn't burn. Remove the garlic from the pan and transfer to a plate lined with a paper towel.

Add the sausage to the pan, breaking it up with the back of a wooden spoon as it browns. If the pan gets too hot, add 1/4 cup of the stock to pull up any fond (crust) that has developed on the bottom of pan. After the sausage is browned, remove from the pan with a slotted spoon. Add the kale to the pan, cover, and allow to wilt for two minutes.
Stir the kale, then add the beans, pepper and remaining stock. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and cook for 5 minutes.

Just before serving, add the garlic and sausage back to the pan and toss to combine.

     I included some red bell pepper and onion in this dish. I did not remove and later add ingredients back to the pan as suggested. It seemed like an unnecessary time killer and I had no problems. I will definitely make this again. Yummy! - 5/25/12

     This was great! I only had one bunch of kale and I used bulk soy chorizo which I sauteed with the garlic. This will become a regular recipe - my son who is a vegan loved it. I'm a carnivore and I thought it was great! - 7/25/12

     This was a hit at my house. Instead of chorizo I did veggie protein crumbles and I added a little cumin, and red pepper flakes and it came out amazinggggggg! This will be a repeat at my house. Thanks for the recipe - 9/24/12

     The flavor was outstanding. My only adjustment was to add a red pepper cut in strips. One drawback was that I got 3 two cup servings not 4. I used a pound of kale. - 8/26/12

     Made it with spinach and turkey bacon! Was just deeeevine! I added onion and mushrooms. Oh...and a touch of lite cream at the end. :) - 11/15/12

     I make a similar dish frequently. You can cut the calories by eliminating the oil and using broth to sautee the veggies. If I don't make my own vegan sausages, I use soy-free Field Roast Mexican Chipotle (or the other varieties - Italian or Smoked Apple Sage). Making your own sausage is really easy! - 10/4/12

     I have made a similar recipe using chicken sausage (Alfresco - 1 link). i use rosemary in mine. - 9/10/12

     Yep, a winner, even with a healthy meat-based sausage. I agree with the comment down-thread about not removing ingredients from the pan. The only reason to do this would be to drain away oil, and there isn't that much to worry about. - 10/4/12

     healthy . good for you . loved .. - 8/8/12
  • CSHOWALTER2
     Oh my gosh this was amazing! The only variance I did was 1 bunch of kale (vs. 2) and I used chicken stock instead of vegetable since that's what I had. This definitely hit the spot and I will be making again! - 10/8/12

     I used hot Italian sausage because the males at my table must have MEAT. I thought it was pretty good. I'm going to try again with a sage sausage. - 10/7/12
