Kielbasa And Collards Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil for pasta.
• Meanwhile, heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a deep skillet. Add onion and garlic to the hot oil and saute just until tender, about 5 minutes. Add kielbasa to the skillet and cook and stir until browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, mushrooms, sugar, balsamic, salt, black pepper, and red pepper. Reduce heat and let sauce simmer while you cook pasta.
• Add penne to the pot of boiling water and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes, stirring peas into pasta during last 2 minutes of cooking time.
• Drain pasta and transfer to sauce. Stir to combine and add basil. Heat over medium-low heat so pasta can absorb liquid from sauce, about 5 minutes. Stir in Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese and serve.

Steps:

• In large skillet, brown bacon. Add onions, green bell pepper, and sausage and simmer 10 minutes. Add beef granules, garlic, olive oil, hot sauce, pepper, balsamic vinegar, and sugar. Place collard greens, ham hocks, tomatoes, and 2 cups hot water into slow cooker. Add ingredients from skillet and stir to combine well. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until collard greens are tender. Cooking time is usually 7 hours on low or 4 hours on high. Remove ham hocks and serve.

Steps:

• Cut kielbasa in 2 inch pieces.
• Clean, trim, and chop collards.
• Put half the collards into a large pot. Add half the onions, half the carrots, and half the kielbasa with black pepper to taste. Repeat.
• Pour the chicken stock over the greens. Cover and bring to a simmer over medium to medium-high heat. It will not look like enough chicken stock, but the collards will cook down and the other ingredients will cook in the steam.
• Continue to simmer, stirring several times, about 45 minutes until collards are tender and carrots are cooked through.
• Serve accompanied by potatoes, slabs of crusty rye or sourdough bread, or squares of cornbread (try Recipe #277295).
