Best 5 Kale With Sweet Sausage Recipes

ITALIAN SAUSAGE KALE SOUP RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the ground sausage. Cook, breaking apart with a spatula, for 8-10 minutes, until browned. Use a slotted spoon to remove the sausage to a plate, leaving the oil in the pan.
• Add the onions and carrots to the pan. Saute for 8-10 minutes, until onions are starting to brown.
• Make a well in the center of the pan. Add the minced garlic and saute for about 1-2 minutes, until fragrant, then stir in with the onions.
• Immediately add the chicken broth and use a wooden spoon to scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the pan (this is called deglazing). Bring to a boil. Simmer for 5 minutes.
• Add the chopped kale and return the sausage to the pan. Simmer for 5 more minutes.
• Turn off the heat. Immediately ladle out 2 cups (473 ml) of hot broth into a blender. Add the cream cheese, and blend until melted.
• Return the broth and cream cheese mixture to the dutch oven and stir until smooth.

NORTH GERMAN GRUENKOHL (KALE) AND SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Bring a pot of water to a boil, and stir in the kale; boil for 1 minute, and remove from the water with a slotted spoon. Set the blanched kale aside.
• Place bacon into a large skillet over medium heat, and cook until browned, stirring frequently, about 8 minutes. Stir in the onion, and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the blanched kale, and cook until kale is bright green and starting to turn tender, about 4 minutes. Pour in enough water to cover, and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, and stir in the beef bouillon granules and nutmeg. Simmer the kale until tender, about 30 minutes.
• Stir the mustard into the kale, and lay the ham slices and sausage links on top. Simmer the kale, ham, and sausages until the sausages are cooked through, about 35 more minutes. Season to taste with salt and black pepper before serving.

KALE WITH SWEET SAUSAGE

Steps:

• In a large heavy-bottomed pan with a tight-fitting lid, cook sausage over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until browned, 4 to 6 minutes; using a slotted spoon, transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain. Set aside.
• Add kale to pan in two or three batches, waiting for one batch to wilt before adding the next. Cook over medium until bright green, about 1 minute. Add 1/2 cup water. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover, and simmer until tender, 15 to 20 minutes, stirring once or twice. Uncover; cook until most of the liquid has evaporated. Stir in vinegar; season with salt and pepper. Serve topped with sausage.

CREAMY KALE AND PASTA WITH SWEET SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook gemelli at a boil, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add tomato, onion, and garlic; saute for 3 minutes. Pour in chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the pan to deglaze browned bits. Add kale and cook, tossing occasionally, until wilted and tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• While kale is cooking, reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, and drain pasta. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and cook, stirring constantly with a whisk, for 1 minute. Pour in milk slowly while whisking vigorously to smooth lumps. Season with salt and pepper and continue to cook until mixture begins to bubble and thicken, 7 to 10 minutes. Add reserved pasta water to reach desired consistency as needed. Remove sauce from heat.
• Pour sauce into sausage mixture, add drained pasta, and toss to evenly coat. Serve warm topped with Parmesan cheese.

KALE AND SAUSAGE SAUTE

Steps:

• Stem the kale and chop into smaller pieces.
• Slice the onion and chop up the bell pepper and carrots. Cut the turkey keilbasa sausage into 1/4 inch rounds.
• Heat oil in a large saucepan, or a large fry pan with high sides.
• Add the garlic to the pan and let saute for about 30 seconds.
• Add the onion, carrots, and bell pepper and cook until the onion becomes somewhat translucent and the other vegetables tender, about 5-7 minutes. Stir frequently so nothing burns.
• Add the turkey keilbasa sausage and saute a minute more.
• Add the kale and gently toss so that the other cooked vegetables become incorporated. Cook about 2-3 more minutes, just until the kale starts to become tender and slightly wilted.
• Warning. Don't cook the kale too long or it will become tough and chewy. YUCK!
• Sprinkle it with salt and pepper to taste.
• Enjoy!
• You may need more olive oil, and you can add more or less of any ingredient you like.
