Chicken Apple Sausage with Kale and White Beans
- Number of Servings: 4
Ingredients
1 cup white or cannellini beans3 links of Trader Joe's Chicken Apple Sausage1 medium onion, diced3 cloves garlic, sliced very thinly1 large bunch kale, center rib removed and roughly chopped1 cup low-sodium chicken broth2 Tbsp honey1/4 cup red wine or cider vinegar1 tsp salt, or to tastea few grinds (or a pinch) freshly cracked pepper1 T red pepper flakesParmesan cheese (optional)Tabasco sauce (optional)
If using fresh or dried beans, simmer in a large pot of water 30 minutes, or until soft. Set aside a little of the cooking liquid and drain the beans. Set aside.
In a small sauce pan, combine the stock, vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper and chili flakes and bring to a boil.
In a large stock pot, brown the sausage. Remove with slotted spoon and set on paper towels to drain. Add the onions and garlic to the pot and saute until translucent.
Add the beans, kale, sausage, and sauce back to the pot. Cook until the kale has wilted and the sauce has thickened. Add the reserved bean cooking or canning liquid to help thicken.
Serve in bowls with a little freshly grated Parmesan and sea salt on top. I like mine with a good dose of Tabasco, as well. Side note - this is pretty good cold, as well.
