14 ounces fully-cooked smoked sausage (sliced into ½-inch rounds)
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1½ cups low sodium chicken broth

BEAN, SAUSAGE, AND SPINACH CASSEROLE



Bean, Sausage, and Spinach Casserole image

A bunch of Swiss Chard, 3 to 5 cups, stems removed, chopped, can be used instead of spinach. Swiss Chard is hard to find where I live, and the difference in taste is minimal. Red Swiss Chard can be used to give the dish a different visual appeal.

TUSCAN SAUSAGE, SPINACH AND CANNELLINI BEANS



Tuscan Sausage, Spinach and Cannellini Beans image

If you like spinach, you will like this easy, comfort food type casserole. The addition of the lemon and nutmeg helps give it a nice, fresh taste. It is important to squeeze as much liquid from the spinach as possible. I sometimes use a leftover croissant to make the breadcrumbs. This goes nicely with a Caesar salad.

HERBED WHITE BEAN AND SAUSAGE STEW



Herbed White Bean and Sausage Stew image

Here's a meaty, cold-weather stew laden with white beans, sweet Italian sausage, rosemary, thyme, cumin and garlic. It is deeply flavored and complex, but quite easy to make. Pan-fry the sausages in a bit of olive oil, then sauté the vegetables with cumin and tomato paste in the drippings. Add plenty of water and the dried beans that, wait for it, you did not have to soak. Simmer until the house is fragrant and the windows fog up (about 2 hours).

Categories     dinner, one pot, main course

Time 2h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
1 pound sweet Italian sausage, sliced 3/4-inch thick
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
2 medium carrots, finely diced
2 celery stalks, finely diced
1 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 pound dried great Northern beans, rinsed and picked through
2 teaspoons kosher salt, or to taste
2 thyme sprigs
1 large rosemary sprig
1 bay leaf
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar, plus more for serving
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, plus more to taste

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large stockpot over medium-high. Add the sausage and brown until cooked through, about 7 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a plate lined with a paper towel.
  • Add the tomato paste and cumin to the pot. Cook, stirring, until dark golden, about 2 minutes. Add the carrots, celery, onion and garlic. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables have softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the beans, 8 cups water, salt, thyme, rosemary and bay leaf. Turn the heat up to high and bring to a boil. Then reduce heat to low and simmer gently until the beans are tender, about 2 hours, adding more water if needed to make sure the beans remain submerged.

Sausage Spinach Pasta Bake image

I've swapped in other meats-such as chicken sausage, veal or ground pork-and added in summer squash, zucchini, green beans and mushrooms, depending on what's in season. Also, fresh herbs really perk up the flavors. -Kim Forni, Laconia, New Hampshire
