Kale with Sausage

Sometimes I feel silly posting easy recipes like this one, but then I figure that maybe not everyone's thought of this, and then I plunge forward.  You first saw this family favorite of ours in my Easter, 2010 post titled, "Pecan Raisin Tart."   I mentioned there that I would post the recipe later, and I guess "later" is what I really must have meant.  Better later than never, right?  I served this alongside my Simple Garlic Bread , and it made for a tasty meal.  


Kale with Sausage

Ingredients:

2 Tbs. olive oil
2 tube pkgs. Gimme Lean, sausage style
2 bunches of kale, stripped from stems and chopped, about 6 - 8 cups
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat.  Slice each tube of Gimme Lean lengthwise and then in semi-circles.  Heat in oil for five minutes to where they are almost browned.  Add the kale and toss thoroughly.  Cook until kale has just wilted but has a nice bright green color.  Add the salt and pepper and serve.  Feeds five hungry vegans.  Satisfying, especially served with garlic bread and even a salad or a steamed veggie on the side.

  2. You've made a very good point — that it's OK to post a really simple recipe in case there's someone looking for tasty vegan food who hasn't thought of that particular dish. There's always something new to learn.

  3. Sandra, everything but the chicken sounds good to me!

    Andrea, thanks for that! Sometimes I second guess myself.

  4. Nothing wrong with posting simple meals - like Andrea says, people might not have thought of something, and I love seeing what other people cook up for tea!

  5. Is one allowed to put the Sausage and Kale on the Garlic Bread to eat like a Sandwich?

  6. Joey, thanks for the encouragement! It's hard to know what will be well-received.

    SV, absolutely. We can call it Saukasand.
