This sausage and bean ragout with kale recipe is versatile.  Serve it with or without a grain.  Sausage and bean ragout is full of protein and veggies like kale, sausage, zucchini, and white beans.

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp e.v. olive oil
  • 1 lb ground mild Italian sausage
  • 1 cup onion, diced
  • 1 Tbsp garlic, minced
  • 28 ounces can cannellini beans, drained & rinsed
  • 20 ounces (~ 2 cups) canned diced tomatoes with juices
  • 6 ounces kale (~ 6 cups, 1 large head), roughly chopped
  • 2 medium zucchini, diced or sliced
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • Parmesan cheese, grated - optional
  • crushed red chili flakes - optional for spiciness

Instructions

  • Bring a large pan to medium high heat, lightly coat the bottom of the pan with oil.  
  • Add the sausage and onions and cook uncovered ~ 7-9 minutes or until sausage is done.  
  • Add the garlic and cook until fragrant (~ 1-2 minutes).
  • Add tomatoes, beans, zucchini, salt and pepper and simmer uncovered 5 minutes.  
  • Add kale and cook until 2-3 minutes or until wilted.
  • Add salt, red chili flakes, and Parmesan cheese to taste.  
  • Serve as is for a grain/starch free dinner or over pasta or rice.  Happy Eating!  Beckie

Notes

  • Don't drain and rinse the beans if you want a thicker ragout.
  • Sear the zucchini first in a little butter until brown on the outside but still a touch soft in the middle.  Set aside on a plate and add back to pan before serving.  This keeps it crispier and seared.
