Curried Sausage And Kale Recipes

PENNE WITH SAUSAGE AND KALE

Steps:

• Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Add garlic, onion and sausage, breaking up any lumps with a spoon, until browned, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Meanwhile, blanch kale in a 6-quart pot of boiling salted water, uncovered, 5 minutes. Remove kale with a large sieve and drain. Return cooking water in pot to a boil, then cook pasta in boiling water, uncovered, until al dente. Reserve 1 cup pasta-cooking water, then drain pasta in a colander.
• While pasta cooks, add kale to sausage in skillet and sauté, stirring frequently, until just tender, about 5 minutes. Add broth, stirring and scraping up any brown bits from bottom of skillet, then add pasta and 1/2 cup reserved cooking water to skillet, tossing until combined. Stir in cheese and thin with additional cooking water if desired.
• Serve immediately, with additional cheese on the side.

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.
