Italian Sausage And Mustard Greens Recipes

SAUSAGE AND GREENS SHEET-PAN DINNER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F. Toss potatoes, 2 Tbsp. oil, 1 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper on an 18x13" rimmed baking sheet. Prick sausages all over with a sharp knife, then nestle among potatoes. Roast, turning sausage and tossing potatoes halfway through, until potatoes are lightly browned and just barely fork-tender and sausage is just cooked through, 12-14 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk vinegar, mustard, honey, and remaining 6 Tbsp. olive oil, 3/4 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper in a large bowl. Pour about 1/4 cup dressing into a small bowl or pitcher and reserve for serving. Toss greens in remaining (about 2 Tbsp.) dressing, using your hands to massage dressing evenly into leaves.
• Scatter dressed leaves in an even layer over sausage and potatoes. Roast, tossing greens halfway through, until greens are tender and charred in places, 3-5 minutes.
• Separate sausage, potatoes, and greens into sections to serve, if desired, or toss all together. Serve with reserved dressing alongside.

SOUTHERN TURNIP GREENS WITH SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Cook sausage in a skillet or frying pan over medium heat, rotating every 3 minutes, until nearly cooked through, about 10 minutes. Drain most of the juice, leaving a layer of juices in the skillet.
• Stir butter and olive oil into sausage; add turnip greens and garlic. Cook greens mixture over high heat, stirring every 5 minutes, until wilted and sausage is cooked through, about 15 minutes. Season greens mixture with salt and pepper and continue cooking over medium-low heat for 10 minutes more.

ITALIAN WHITE-BEAN-AND-MUSTARD-GREENS SOUP

Steps:

• Place beans in a large bowl, cover with 2 inches cold water; let soak overnight at room temperature. Drain and rinse beans. (Or quick-soak them: Boil beans 1 minute, then let them sit off heat, covered, 1 hour.)
• Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Heat oil in a large, heavy-bottomed ovenproof pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and carrots, and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are golden brown in places, 8 to 10 minutes. Add garlic and greens to pot, and cook, stirring frequently, until greens wilt, about 2 minutes.
• Tie together thyme, parsley, and bay leaves with kitchen twine, and add to pot along with beans, Parmesan rind, and water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Cover, transfer to oven, and braise 1 hour.
• Remove from oven, and stir in 1 tablespoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cover, return to oven, and braise until beans are tender, about 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add farro, and cook until grains are tender and begin to split, about 25 minutes. Drain.
• Divide farro among 6 bowls, and ladle soup over farro. Sprinkle with Parmesan, and drizzle with oil. Soup and farro can be refrigerated in separate containers 2 days; let cool completely before refrigerating. Gently reheat together in a covered pot over medium heat, stirring occasionally.

PASTA WITH SAUSAGE AND GREENS RECIPE

Steps:

• Cook rigatoni according to package instructions, making sure to save 1/3 cup of cooking liquid prior to draining.
• Whisk Dijon into reserved pasta liquid and set aside.
• Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large saucepan over low heat. Add garlic. Cook to infuse oil with flavor, 2-3 minutes.
• Increase heat to medium-high and add sausage. Use a wooden spoon to break it up. Cook stirring occasionally until cooked through, 5 minutes.
• Add mustard greens, 1/3 at a time, allowing them to wilt and make space before adding next addition. Stir in salt and cook stirring occasionally until greens are fully wilted, 3 minutes.
• Add the tomatoes and the Dijon mixture. Stir to heat through. Toss with cooked pasta.
• Serve topped with Parmesan cheese.

COLLARD GREENS WITH SAUSAGE AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Wash collard greens, taking care to remove all grit. Remove and discard hard stems. Roll up greens in small bunches; cut crosswise into thin strips.
• Heat dressing in Dutch oven or small stockpot on medium heat. Add sausage, onions, garlic and crushed pepper; stir. Cook 4 to 5 min. or until onions are crisp-tender, stirring frequently.
• Stir in broth. Add collard greens; stir. Simmer on medium-low heat 25 to 30 min. or until greens are tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in vinegar; cook 5 min., stirring occasionally.

ORECCHIETTE WITH MUSTARD GREENS AND SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook orecchiette in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 12 to 14 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook and stir sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Add mustard greens, garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook and stir until mustard greens wilt, about 2 minutes.
• Drain orecchiette and stir into the sausage mixture. Remove from heat.
• Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add bread crumbs; cook and stir until toasted, 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle bread crumbs over pasta. Garnish with Parmesan cheese.

ITALIAN SAUSAGE AND MUSTARD GREENS

Steps:

• * Chop the mustard greens, rinse thorougly and set aside. * Brown Italian Sausage in a large fry pan on medium high. Keep turning the sausage so that they have a nice, brownish color. Don't worry that they are not cooking all the way through because they will cook some more in the next few steps. * With the pan still hot and the sausage browned, just dump the greens on top of the sausage. They will probably fill up the pan, but just start pushing them down and around. They will start to reduce immediately. If you want to add garlic do it after the sausage is browned and before you add the greens. Just toss the garlic in for about 30 seconds before the greens are added. * Now pour about a cup (start with a 1/2 cup) of water into the pan (it should sizzle as it starts to pick up all the flavors at the bottom of the pan). * Now cover the pan and reduce the heat. * Cook for about 20 minutes until the sausages are cooked thoroughly and the greens have softened and picked up the flavors and juices in the pan. If you want to make sure the greens are cooked only slightly, just cook the sausage longer before you add the greens. * While everything's still steeping hot, sprinkle lemon and the Parmesan cheese over the top.
