Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
3/4 to 1 pound Italian sausage, sweet or hot, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 pound kale, leaves stripped from stems, stems reserved
3/4 pound trimmed and sliced mushrooms
1 tablespoon roughly chopped garlic
1 tablespoon hot paprika or dried red chili flakes, or to taste
Salt and pepper
2 cups chicken stock or water

Steps:

Put olive oil in large deep skillet or casserole, and turn heat to medium-high; a minute later, add sausage and cook without stirring until well browned on one side, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, chop kale stems into 1/2-inch lengths and shred leaves.
Stir sausage and let it brown a bit more. Remove it with a slotted spoon (don't worry if it isn't cooked through). Cook mushrooms in remaining fat, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and keep warm.
Add kale stems and cook, stirring frequently, until they begin to brown, in 3 or 4 minutes. Turn heat to medium and add garlic, paprika or chili flakes, kale leaves, salt and pepper; stir and cook about 1 minute. Return sausage to pan and add stock or water. Raise heat to high and cook about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally and scraping bottom of pan with wooden spoon. Add salt and pepper to taste, ladle stew into bowls and top with reserved mushrooms.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
1 yellow onion, chopped
1 large carrot, cubed
1 rib celery, chopped
1 (12 ounce) ring smoked garlic sausage, sliced
1 bay leaf
1 ½ cups black lentils
6 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon salt, or more to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste

Melt butter in a pot over medium heat. Saute onion, carrot, and celery until starting to soften, about 5 minutes. Add sausage; mix to coat. Stir in bay leaf and lentils.

Ladle soup into serving bowls and garnish with sour cream and cayenne pepper.

Tips:

Use good quality sausage. The flavor of the sausage will be the star of the show, so it's important to use a sausage that you enjoy the taste of. Look for a sausage that is made with high-quality meat and spices.
Don't overcook the sausage. Sausage is a relatively delicate meat, so it's important not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become tough and dry. Cook the sausage just until it is cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
Use a variety of vegetables. This recipe calls for kale, but you can also use other vegetables, such as potatoes, carrots, celery, or onions. Feel free to experiment and use whatever vegetables you have on hand.
Season the stew to taste. The amount of salt and pepper you add will depend on your personal preference. Taste the stew as you go and adjust the seasonings as needed.
Serve the stew hot. Sausage and kale stew is best served hot, so make sure to enjoy it right away. You can also reheat the stew the next day, but it may not be as flavorful.

Conclusion:

Sausage and kale stew is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter night. It's also a great way to use up leftover sausage. This recipe is easy to make and can be tailored to your own liking. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this sausage and kale stew a try.
