KALE, SAUSAGE, AND MUSHROOM STEW

NYT 04/04/01



1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

3/4 to 1 pound Italian sausage, sweet or hot, cut into 1-inch pieces

1 pound kale, leaves stripped from stems, stems reserved

3/4 pound trimmed and sliced mushrooms

1 tablespoon roughly chopped garlic

1 tablespoon hot paprika or dried red chili flakes, or to taste

Salt and pepper

2 cups chicken stock or water.


1. Put olive oil in large deep skillet or casserole, and turn heat to medium-high; a minute later, add

sausage and cook without stirring until well browned on one side, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile,

chop kale stems into 1/2-inch lengths and shred leaves.

2. Stir sausage and let it brown a bit more. Remove it with a slotted spoon (don't worry if it isn't

cooked through). Cook mushrooms in remaining fat, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned,

about 10 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and keep warm.

3. Add kale stems and cook, stirring frequently, until they begin to brown, in 3 or 4 minutes. Turn

heat to medium and add garlic, paprika or chili flakes, kale leaves, salt and pepper; stir and cook

about 1 minute. Return sausage to pan and add stock or water. Raise heat to high and cook about

5 minutes, stirring occasionally and scraping bottom of pan with wooden spoon. Add salt and

pepper to taste, ladle stew into bowls and top with reserved mushrooms.



Yield: 4 servings.
