Sausage, Escarole and White Bean Ragout image

Flavorful sausage and bold escarole are filling additions to this French-accented stew from Dec 2006 "Cooking Light." Super easy to make. Substitute mustard greens to mimic the bitter flavor of escarole, or use spinach for milder flavor (I found spinach too bland and think escarole gives just the right punch). Serve with a crusty baguette or rolls.

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 ounces sweet Italian turkey sausage
cooking spray
1 cup onion, chopped
1 cup red potatoes, peeled and cubed (about 6 oz.)
1/3 cup Chardonnay wine or 1/3 cup other dry white wine
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1 (16 ounce) can cannellini beans or 1 (16 ounce) can other white beans, rinsed and drained
1 (14 ounce) can reduced-sodium fat-free chicken broth
4 cups escarole, sliced (about 4 oz.)
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Heat a large nonstick skillet with high sides over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray.
  • If you prefer crumbled sausage, remove casings. Add sausage and onion to pan, and cook 4 minutes or until sausage browns, stirring to crumble.
  • If you prefer sausage slices, cook whole sausages in a little water until almost firm. Slice sausages and return to pan with onion and cook until onion is lightly browned and no pink remains in sausage.
  • Stir in potatoes, wine, garlic, beans and chicken broth; return to simmer. Cover and cook 7 minutes.
  • Stir in escarole and rosemary, and cook for 4 minutes or until the escarole wilts, stirring occasionally.
  • Ladle 1 1/4 cups soup into each of 4 shallow bowls, and sprinkle each serving evenly with 1 1/2 teaspoons cheese.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used a spicy Italian sausage. Next time I'll use a milder sausage or add less red pepper flakes. Other than that, the recipe was great and I'll definitely be making it again.

I followed the recipe exactly and the dish turned out great! The sausage was browned perfectly and the escarole was tender. The white beans added a nice creaminess to the dish. I served it over rice and it was a delicious and satisfying meal.

I made this recipe last night and it was delicious! I used a spicy Italian sausage, which gave the dish a nice kick. I also added some chopped sun-dried tomatoes, which added a touch of sweetness. Definitely a keeper!

This sausage escarole and white bean ragout was a hit with my family! The flavors were amazing, and the escarole added a nice bitterness that balanced out the richness of the sausage. I will definitely be making this again.
