WHITE BEANS WITH SPINACH & SAUSAGE RECIPE - (4/5)



White Beans with Spinach & Sausage Recipe - (4/5) image

Provided by pga_jam

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 pound kielbasa (turkey or chicken work great if you don't' want to use beef!)
2 cups chicken broth (vegetable broth works great in a pinch as well!)
2 cloves of garlic
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cups Cannellini beans (you can use canned if needed make sure you rinse them as well)* see my suggestion above if using dry beans
Two medium sized tomatoes diced up really small, it should come to about 1 cup or more
6 cups baby spinach leaves
Freshly cracked pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Directions ** I can't believe I never told you how and when I add the sausage in! I am so sorry everyone I've been without a computer for several weeks so I couldn't add it in. Sausage- I cook the sausage in a cast iron skillet before adding to the beans. I like to sear it well on teh sides then cut it up ( if using sausage links). Once it's all cooked I add it along with whatever juice/grease that the sausage made from the pan and add it into the beans. If you cook in anything other than a cast iron skillet a little oil would help in the pan but I never add anything in the cast iron . *** Pour chicken broth and garlic into a large pot. Place on medium high heat and bring to a simmer. Add in the oil and oregano then beans. Stir it up before adding in tomatoes. Heat through till the beans are tender. If using canned it won't take long at all. Once beans are tender add in the spinach and cook just until the leaves are wilted. Stir it in and sprinkle cracked pepper on top.

BBQ-FLAVORED WHITE BEANS WITH SAUSAGE AND SPINACH



BBQ-Flavored White Beans with Sausage and Spinach image

I fully admit that this recipe screams "emergency dinner!" But it's spicy, hearty, high in protein, and best of all, ready for the table in about twenty minutes. Some nights, you need a main dish like that, and this one never disappoints.

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced, optional
One 14-ounce package Tofurky sausage, sliced 1/2 inch thick
Two 15-to 16-ounce cans navy beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup natural barbecue sauce, any flavor
4 to 5 ounces baby spinach

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a wide skillet or stir-fry pan. Add the onion and sauté over medium heat until translucent.
  • Add the garlic and sausage; continue to sauté, stirring frequently, until everything is golden, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the beans and barbecue sauce. Cook until piping hot, about 4 minutes.
  • Add the spinach and cover. When it wilts down a bit, stir it in. Continue to cook for just a minute or so longer. Serve at once.
  • A salad with a hint of sweetness balances the hearty, bold flavors in this dish. Choose Fruitful Red Slaw (page 177) or Creole Coleslaw (page 178). To make the meal even heartier, add some cooked quinoa or microwaved sweet potatoes.
  • If this is truly an emergency meal, stick with the basics-microwaved Yukon gold or sweet potatoes and a simple green salad.
