It’s getting to be a bit crisper at night, lending to the desire for a nice warm bowl of something for dinner.

The fridge is a bit sparse, someone has been slacking in thawing meat or grocery shopping, so the recipe search was driven by minimal shopping needed.

Original Recipe from https://themodernproper.com/white-bean-sausage-skillet

1/2 t Oil
16 oz Sausage (I used cracked pepper by https://conecuhsausage.com/)
1 T garlic, minced
1/4 onion, diced
2 15 oz cans of white beans
1 1/2 c Chicken Stock
1/2 t black pepper
1/2 t thyme
3 cups kale, stemmed
1 T lemon juice
shredded parmesan, to garnish

Heat large skillet or pot over medium high heat
Brown sausage on all sides, remove from pan
When sausage is cool enough to handle, slice into rounds
Brown sausage rounds on both sides
Add onions to pan and cook until it starts turning translucent
Add garlic and cook until fragrant
Take 1/2 of a can of one of the beans and mash into a paste, an immersion blender does wonders
Add all whole beans to the pan (undrained), black pepper, and thyme.
Bring to a simmer
Add chicken stock
Bring back to a simmer
Add mashed beans
Bring back to a simmer
Add kale
Stir gently until kale is cooked to your preference
Turn off heat and finish with lemon juice, check seasoning and adjust
Serve up in a bowl with parmesan sprinkled on top.

Optional things that sound like they’d go really well with this:
– hatch chili paste (or other hot sauce)
– sourdough toast
– croutons

The verdict?
We will be making this again. Quick, easy, one pot, and the husband really liked it.
