Voltron Posted March 17, 2014 Report Posted March 17, 2014 Glad you guys enjoyed it! Those remind me that Dynamo Donuts is doing beer donuts with Almanac brews in them this week. Earlier tonight, Claire and I made Mike and Debbie's kale/fennel/sausage/white bean stew and it was delicious. I am still working and was thinking about having another helping even though now I really want Grahame and Joanne's donuts after seeing those pictures. Made this again when we had family over last week and it was a big hit. So tasty and yet quite simple. I do half spicy and half sweet Italian sausage (pork, baby!) and that also kicks up the spice a little bit for those who like it.
Voltron Posted March 17, 2014 Report Posted March 17, 2014 Mike posted it in the cooking thread: Ingredients Vegetable oil cooking spray 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 2 medium fennel bulbs, outer layers removed, chopped 1 medium onion, chopped 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes One 28-ounce can diced tomatoes One 15-ounce can cannellini beans One 10-ounce bunch kale, center rib removed, leaves chopped into 1/2-inch pieces 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth 4 Italian sausage links (half spicy and half sweet is my preference) Directions Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a grill pan with vegetable oil cooking spray. In a Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the fennel, onion, 1 teaspoon of the salt and the red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring constantly, until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes (plus juices), beans, kale and broth. Bring the mixture to a boil. Cover the pan with a tight fitting lid and transfer to the oven. Cook until the vegetables are tender and the kale has wilted, 25 to 30 minutes. While the stew is cooking, place a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a grill. Grill sausages, turning occasionally, until cooked through, about 20 minutes. Cool and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Remove the pan from the oven and add the cooked sausage slices. Season with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Spoon the stew into bowls and serve. 1
Absorbine_Sr Posted March 18, 2014 Report Posted March 18, 2014 Al, is there a particular type of kale you've used? Debbie is less fond of the "curly" style we've used so far but it's all that's been available unless we roam far afield.
Voltron Posted March 18, 2014 Report Posted March 18, 2014 Lacinato Kale, aka Dino Kale, is the kind that I think we have used both time. It is sweeter and softer than curly kale, and it is pretty much readily available around here anyway. Claire and my daughter Sophie both said the baby kale -- sold in lettuce packs -- would not be good and would not likely hold up to cooking this way. But you could try...
Absorbine_Sr Posted March 18, 2014 Report Posted March 18, 2014 (edited) We'll hit Whole Foods before the next batch as they have a better kale selection. Edited March 18, 2014 by Absorbine_Sr

agile_one Posted March 30, 2014 Report Posted March 30, 2014 Main course and dessert both look amazing, Grahame and Jo. Wish I could have shared.
Absorbine_Sr Posted April 3, 2014 Report Posted April 3, 2014 Sous vide chicken breasts on rice with a mushroom/ sherry sauce. Juiciest, tastiest chicken I've ever eaten. Though the sauce looks hideous. 1
