Kale Cauliflower And Kielbasa Stew Recipes

Steps:

• Place the potatoes into a large stockpot, over medium high heat. Add butter and water, and bring to a boil. Cook potatoes until tender, about 20 minutes. Reserve the cooking liquid and mash potatoes in the pan until smooth. Return the potato water to the pot and stir in salt and pepper. Simmer for 20 minutes.
• Stir in the fresh kale and sausage and simmer for another 30 minutes. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Chop the cauliflower, cover with chicken broth in a large Dutch oven, and bring to a boil. After it boils, simmer it with the salt and pepper for 10-15 minutes until it's soft enough to emulsify with an immersion blender. Meanwhile, chop Kielbasa into bite size rounds and chop onion. Saute Kielbasa, onion, and garlic in teaspoon of olive until soft and then set aside. Chop the kale. Emulsify the softened cauliflower with a stick immersion blender to create a thickened stew base. Add the Kielbasa, onions, kale, and beans, bring it back to a boil and then simmer it for 10 - 15 minutes longer. Enjoy on a crisp Fall or Winter day.

Steps:

• Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F.
• In a dutch oven, combine the potatoes with enough water to cover them by 2 inches, bring the water to a boil, and boil the potatoes for 15 minutes, or until they are tender.
• Transfer the potatoes with a slotted spoon to a colander, reserving the cooking liquid, and force them through a ricer into a bowl. (or mash until smooth with no chunks).
• Add the butter, 1/4 cup of broth, the vinegar, and salt and pepper, to taste, and combine the mixture well.
• Bring the reserved cooking liquid to a boil. Coursely chop the kale leaves, add to water, and boil it for 10 minutes, or until it is crisp-tender.
• Drain the kale in the colander, refresh it under cold water, and press out the excess water.
• Stir the kale and 1/2 cup of the Swiss into the potato mixture and spread the mixture in a buttered casserole dish.
• In a large skillet brown the kielbasa over moderate heat and transfer it to a bowl with the slotted spoon.
• In the fat remaining in the skillet cook the onions over moderate heat, stirring, until they are golden. Stir them into the kielbasa.
• Scatter the kielbasa mixture on top of the potato mixture, sprinkle it with the remaining Swiss, and pour the remaining 1/4 cup broth on top.
• NOTE: The casserole may be prepared up to this point 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled.
• Bake the casserole until heated through, about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• In a large stockpot or dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high heat, and saute the kielbasa and ham for 5-6 minutes, until browned. Add the onions and saute for a few minutes more, until they are softened. If at any time the pot is looking dry, add a splash of stock to continue the saute.
• Next add the stock and the black pepper and bring to a boil.
• When boiling, add the potato flakes, stirring until dissolved.
• Add the kale and cabbage, then lower the heat to simmer and cover.
• Simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the cabbage and kale are tender. Add the drained and rinsed beans, then simmer for an additional 10 minutes.
• Before serving, taste and add salt as needed. (It shouldn't need any as prepared stock and the smoked meats have plenty, but use your own judgment and add some if you deem it necessary.) Yum!
