Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups chicken stock, or more as needed
1 cup quinoa
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound bulk pork sausage
1 onion, finely chopped
1 (14.5 ounce) can petite diced tomatoes, drained
1 (14.5 ounce) can great Northern beans, drained
2 cups chopped kale
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Bring chicken stock and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sausage and onion and cook, breaking sausage up as it browns, 5 to 10 minutes. Mix in tomatoes, beans, and kale. Add a splash of chicken stock if needed to wilt kale. Cook until tomatoes and beans are heated through, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Stir cooked quinoa into the skillet. Season with salt and pepper.

This was a quick and easy weeknight meal. I used pre-cooked sausage and canned beans, so it came together in no time.

Not bad! I'm not a huge fan of kale, but I thought it worked well in this dish. The sausage and beans were also very flavorful.

Meh. The flavors were okay, but the dish was a bit dry. I think it could have used more sauce or broth.
