PORTUGUESE SAUSAGE AND BEAN STEW



Portuguese Sausage and Bean Stew image

Provided by Aida Mollenkamp

Categories     main-dish

Time 14h10m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound dried kidney beans or great Northern beans, rinsed and picked over or 2 (15- ounce) cans or kidney beans
8 ounces sliced smoked bacon, optional
8 ounces Spanish chorizo (cured spicy pork sausage), kielbasa or other spicy sausage, cut into 1/4-inch-thick coins
1 large yellow onion, roughly chopped
4 medium garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/4 cup tomato paste
2 medium Yukon gold potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
4 cups water
1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon sweet paprika
2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
1 medium bay leaf

Steps:

  • If using dried beans, add the beans to a large bowl, cover by 2 inches with cold water and let soak for at least 8 hours, or overnight. Drain and set aside. If using canned beans, drain and rinse.
  • Add the bacon, if using, to a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat and cook until browned and crisp, about 10 minutes. Remove the bacon and set aside. Discard all but 1 tablespoon of the fat and return the skillet to the stovetop. Add the sausage and cook until browned. With a slotted spoon, remove the sausage to a bowl and reserve.
  • Discard all but 1 tablespoon of the fat from the skillet and return to the stove over medium heat. When the fat shimmers, add the onion and garlic, stir to coat in fat, and cook until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Add the potatoes and stir to coat in the tomato paste. Add the beans, chorizo, and all remaining ingredients, except the bacon, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the flavors have melded and the dried beans are cooked through, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Crumble the bacon into beans, and season with additional salt, if needed. Remove the bay leaf, transfer the beans to a serving bowl and serve.

SAUSAGE, BEAN AND PASTA STEW



Sausage, Bean and Pasta Stew image

Two secret ingredients do double-duty in this sausage stew: fire- roasted canned tomatoes boost the flavor and add smoky backbone, while a Parmesan rind-which you can get on its own in many supermarkets-adds a savory, just-slightly-cheesy note and tons of body.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 8h10m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 onion, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 carrots, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
8 ounces dried white beans, such as cannellini, rinsed and picked over
6 to 8 sprigs fresh thyme, tied with a piece of kitchen twine
1 pound sweet or hot Italian sausage links (4 to 6 links)
One 14.5-ounce can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth or stock
One 4 ounce chunk Parmesan rind, optional, plus grated Parmesan, for serving
1/2 cup ditalini pasta
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Crusty bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Spread the onions over the bottom of a 5 1/2- to 6-quart slow cooker and top with the carrots, garlic, white beans, thyme bundle and sausage links. Mix the diced tomatoes with the broth and 3 cups water and pour over the sausages. Add the Parmesan rind if using.
  • Cook on high for 4 to 5 hours or on low for 7 to 8 hours; the beans will be tender and begin to fall apart.
  • Uncover the slow cooker, remove and discard the thyme bundle and Parmesan rind and transfer the sausage links to a cutting board. Stir the pasta into the stew and continue to cook, covered, until the pasta is cooked through, about 20 minutes.
  • Turn off the heat. Cut the sausages into bite-size pieces and stir into the stew along with the parsley and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with grated Parmesan on the side for sprinkling on top and crusty bread for soaking up the broth.

SLOW COOKER SAUSAGE, BEAN AND PASTA STEW



Slow Cooker Sausage, Bean and Pasta Stew image

Time 8h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings (or 4 with leftovers)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 onion, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
8 ounces dried white beans, such as cannellini, rinsed and picked over

White Bean and Sausage Stew in Pumpkin Bowls image

Intense heat concentrates the pumpkin's sugars, bringing out its natural sweetness -- so you can enjoy its rich, dense flesh as you spoon out your stew. White beans, red pearl onions, baby peas, and turkey sausage make up the deep-flavored mix.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Turkey Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 cups dried navy beans
2 bay leaves
2 sprigs fresh thyme, plus 1 tablespoon leaves
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
5 cups homemade or low-sodium store-bought chicken stock
1 large onion, coarsely chopped
12 (about 2 pounds each) sugar pumpkins, washed and dried
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 pound turkey sausage, casings discarded, coarsely chopped
3 dozen red pearl onions, peeled
14 small red fingerling or new potatoes, (about 12 ounces), halved lengthwise
4 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch rounds
2 large leeks, white and pale-green parts only, thinly sliced crosswise, rinsed well
1 stalk celery, trimmed and cut into 1/4-inch dice
1/2 pound white button mushrooms, trimmed and quartered
1 cup fresh shelled or thawed frozen baby peas
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups whole milk
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh sage

Steps:

  • Put beans into a medium bowl; cover with cold water by 2 inches. Refrigerate 8 hours (up to overnight). Drain beans and transfer to a large stockpot.
  • Make bouquet garni: Place bay leaves, thyme sprigs, and the peppercorns on a square of cheesecloth; tie into a bundle with kitchen twine. Add stock, onion, and bouquet garni to pot with beans. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover; simmer until beans are tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Drain beans, reserving cooking liquid. Discard bouquet garni.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Using a keyhole saw, cut out tops of pumpkins, and reserve. Remove seeds. Rub inside of each pumpkin with the oil, and season with salt and pepper. Place pumpkins and tops right side up on baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Bake 25 minutes. Remove tops; let cool completely on a wire rack, and reserve for garnish. Turn pumpkins upside down, and bake until flesh is tender but firm, about 25 minutes more. Let cool completely on rack.
  • Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add sausage. Cook, stirring, until sausage is browned, about 7 minutes. Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter, the pearl onions, potatoes, carrots, leeks, and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables have softened, about 12 minutes. Stir in mushrooms and peas. Stir in flour, and cook 2 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to medium. Add milk; simmer 5 minutes. Stir in beans, reserved cooking liquid, sage, thyme leaves, and 2 cups water. Bring to a simmer; cook until thick, about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Divide the stew among pumpkin shells. Place on baking sheets, and bake until pumpkins are soft, about 15 minutes. Garnish with tops.

WHITE BEAN AND SAUSAGE STEW



White Bean and Sausage Stew image

This recipe is a combination of things I had on hand and wanted to make a hearty stew--something to stick to the ribs. Serve with rolls, salad for a complete meal.

Provided by mightyro_cooking4u

Categories     Stew

Time 2h20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup dried white bean
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped green pepper
1/4 cup chopped celery
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
2 bay leaves
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1/2 lb smoked ham, diced
1/2 cup sliced smoked sausage
1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans chicken broth
3 cups sliced mushrooms (use white and or or a combination of wild mushrooms)

Steps:

  • Soak the beans overnight, covered with water; drain.
  • In a heavy 6-quart Dutch oven or cast- iron pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the flour and cook, stirring continuously, until it becomes dark brown (like dark chocolate), for 20 to 25 minutes. (Do not rush the process and do not not stop stirring or the roux will burn, and you will have to start over. Stay away from the phone).

  • Add the ham and sausage and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes or until the ham and sausage begin to cook. Stir in the beans and garlic. Stir in the chicken broth. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 1 1/2 hours or until the beans are tender, stirring occasionally. If the stew becomes too thick, stir in more broth (or water if you don't have the broth).
  • Add the mushrooms. Cook for 30 minutes longer.

GARBANZO BEAN AND SAUSAGE STEW



Garbanzo Bean and Sausage Stew image

Garbanzo beans in a tomato-based sauce with sweet Italian sausage and pasta. Hearty winter comfort food, it can be varied using other types of sausages. I came up with this one day when I was tired of the same old stuff, and I had picked up dried garbanzo beans at Cleveland's West Side Market.

Provided by RCHEISS

Categories     Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes     Stews     Pork

Time 11h55m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 cups dry garbanzo beans
¼ cup olive oil
2 pounds sweet Italian pork sausage, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 bell pepper, cut into bite-sized pieces
½ large onion, thinly sliced
5 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes with garlic and herbs
4 cups chicken stock, or more if needed
2 tablespoons dried basil
2 tablespoons dried parsley
2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 cup pipette pasta

Steps:

  • Place the garbanzo beans into a large container and cover with several inches of cool water; let stand 8 hours to overnight. Or, bring the beans and water to a boil in a large pot over high heat. Once boiling, turn off the heat, cover, and let stand 1 hour. Drain and rinse before using.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, then stir in the sausage. Cook and stir until the sausage is evenly browned and no longer pink. Remove sausage and set aside, leaving any grease from the sausage in the skillet. Return the skillet to the stove and reduce the heat to medium, then add the bell pepper and onion. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes; stir in the garlic. Continue cooking and stirring until the onion is golden brown, about 5 more minutes.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in the flour until the mixture becomes paste-like and light golden brown, about 5 minutes. Gradually stir the tomatoes and chicken stock into the flour mixture, and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook and stir until the mixture is thick and smooth, 10 to 15 minutes. Season with basil, parsley, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Stir in the sausage. Cover and cook over low heat for 2 hours, then add the prepared garbanzo beans. Cook for an additional hour.
  • Meanwhile, fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the pipette pasta, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink. Stir the pasta into the stew, adding more chicken stock, if necessary.

SAUSAGE AND WHITE BEAN STEW (WEIGHT WATCHERS)



Sausage and White Bean Stew (Weight Watchers) image

This is the first Weight Watchers recipe I've used, and, boy, am I glad I did! The stew is SO tasty and easy. Even better, the recipe can be modified according to what you have on hand. For instance, I used spinach instead of broccoli rabe and a small white onion since in the place of the red, and instead of the Italian sausage, I used kielbasa. I also added lots of red pepper flakes and some cayenne, too. So have fun with this recipe! I can hardly wait to hear what you think of it.

SAUSAGE, BEAN AND CORN STEW



Sausage, Bean And Corn Stew image

Provided by Jacques Pepin

Categories     dinner, one pot, soups and stews, main course

Time 2h15m

Yield Six servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound small white navy (pea) beans
7 cups cold water
1 teaspoon salt
6 coarsely ground sweet Italian sausages (about 1 1/2 pounds)
6 hot Italian sausages (about 1 pound)
1/2 cup water
2 onions (about 12 ounces), peeled and cut into 1-inch dice (2 cups)
2 carrots (about 6 ounces), peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice (about 1 cup)
1 1/2 cups sliced celery
3 cloves garlic, peeled and sliced (about 1 1/2 tablespoons)
1 small jalapeno pepper, coarsely chopped, with seeds removed (1 teaspoon), optional
5 plum tomatoes (about 1 pound), cut into 1-inch pieces (about 2 1/2 cups), or the tomato ''lids'' and insides from the blackfish-stuffed tomatoes
3 sprigs fresh thyme, or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
4 ears corn, kernels removed (3 cups)

Steps:

  • Wash the beans and remove and discard any damaged beans or pebbles. The beans do not need to be pre-soaked, provided they are started in cold water. Place them in a large saucepan and cover with the seven cups of cold water and the one teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, cover and boil gently for 75 minutes. The beans should be just tender but still a bit firm.
  • Meanwhile, prick the sweet and hot sausages (see note below) and place in one layer in a large saucepan. Add the half cup of water, cover, lower the heat to medium and cook about 20 minutes. By then the water should have almost completely evaporated and the sausages should be starting to sizzle in their own fat.
  • Add the onion, carrot, celery, garlic and optional hot pepper and continue cooking, covered, for another 10 minutes. Set aside.
  • When the beans are cooked, drain, combine the sausage mixture with them and add the tomatoes and thyme. Cook together for another 15 minutes. By then the beans should be tender and the mixture just slightly soupy. (The dish can be prepared to this point the day before serving.) Set aside, ready to be reheated when needed.
  • At serving time, bring the mixture to a boil on top of the stove or, if at the beach, on the grill. When boiling, add the corn kernels, return the mixture to the boil and serve.

BECCA'S PUMPKIN, SAUSAGE & WHITE BEAN STEW



Becca's Pumpkin, Sausage & White Bean Stew image

Number Of Ingredients 1

1 bag 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 small onion, chopped 2 tablespoons chopped parsley 1 teaspoon ground cumin 2 small potatoes, washed and cut into cubes 4 Italian-style pork or turkey sausage links 1 small pumpkin, peeled, deseeded and cubed 1 cup canned white beans, drained 4 cups chicken broth

Steps:

  • Start by adding the olive oil to a heavy bottomed six-litre pot or Dutch oven. Over medium heat, brown the sausage in the olive oil for about 10 minutes, then remove and set aside. Next, sauté the chopped onion in the same oil left from cooking the sausage, until the onions are clear. Add the potatoes, pumpkin, beans, broth and seasonings to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil. Put the sausage back in and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook for approximately 30 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and the sausage is done. Serve and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality sausage: Opt for fresh, flavorful sausage that is made with good-quality meat and spices. This will greatly enhance the overall taste of the stew.
  • Use a variety of beans: Don't limit yourself to just one type of bean. Experiment with different varieties, such as kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, and chickpeas, to add texture and flavor to the stew.
  • Sauté the vegetables: Sautéing the vegetables before adding them to the stew helps to bring out their natural sweetness and enhances their flavor. Make sure to cook them until they are tender but still have a slight bite.
  • Use a flavorful broth: The broth is an important component of the stew, as it provides depth and richness to the dish. Use a good-quality broth, such as homemade chicken broth or vegetable broth, rather than water.
  • Season well: Don't be afraid to season the stew generously with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices. This will help to bring out the flavors of the sausage, vegetables, and beans.
  • Let the stew simmer: Simmering the stew for at least 30 minutes allows the flavors to meld together and develop. The longer you simmer the stew, the more flavorful it will be.
  • Serve with crusty bread or rice: Serve the sausage and bean stew with crusty bread or rice to soak up the delicious broth. This will make the meal more hearty and satisfying.
