WHITE BEAN-SAUSAGE STEW

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion, diced
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup dry red wine
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 14-ounce cans cherry tomatoes
1 29-ounce can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
6 links sweet Italian sausage (about 1 1/4 pounds)
1 5-ounce package baby arugula (about 8 cups)
Sliced fresh basil and grated parmesan cheese, for topping

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook until the onion is just tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute. Stir in the wine to deglaze the pot and scrape up any browned bits, then simmer until mostly evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the chicken broth, tomatoes, beans, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes are soft and the mixture is thickened, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the broiler. Toss the sausages with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil on a baking sheet. Broil, turning halfway through, until well browned and cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Let rest about 5 minutes.
  • Remove the bean mixture from the heat and stir in the arugula until just wilted; spoon into bowls. Slice the sausages in half and add to the bowls. Top with basil and cheese.

HERBED WHITE BEAN AND SAUSAGE STEW



Herbed White Bean and Sausage Stew image

Here's a meaty, cold-weather stew laden with white beans, sweet Italian sausage, rosemary, thyme, cumin and garlic. It is deeply flavored and complex, but quite easy to make. Pan-fry the sausages in a bit of olive oil, then sauté the vegetables with cumin and tomato paste in the drippings. Add plenty of water and the dried beans that, wait for it, you did not have to soak. Simmer until the house is fragrant and the windows fog up (about 2 hours).

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes     Stews

Time 9h45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 ½ cups dry cannellini beans
4 (6 ounce) Italian sausage links with garlic and fennel
1 cup chopped yellow onion
⅓ cup dry white wine
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 bay leaf
6 cups water, or to taste
1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
4 cups chopped kale
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, or to taste
6 tablespoons grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, or to taste
6 pinches red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Soak beans in cold water, 8 hours to overnight.
  • Drain beans and set aside.
  • Make a cut down the center of each sausage and peel off the casing. Transfer sausage into a dry soup pot over medium-high heat. Brown sausage, while breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon, 5 to 7 minutes. Cook and stir until juices start to caramelize and stick to the bottom of the pan, creating a fond, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Add onion and stir to coat in the rendered sausage fat. Cook until onion starts to turn translucent, about 5 minutes. Add white wine to deglaze the pot. Add black pepper, red pepper flakes, bay leaf, and water.
  • Add drained beans, increase heat to high, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 30 minutes. Add salt and continue to simmer until beans are tender, about 30 more minutes. Taste beans to be certain they are perfectly cooked.
  • Smash about 1/4 of the beans with a potato masher to give the stew a creamy texture if desired. Stir in chopped kale, increase heat to medium, and cook until tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Taste and adjust salt.
  • Ladle hot soup into bowls, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and a pinch of red pepper flakes.
