Sausage Escarole And White Bean Ragout Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Working in batches, sauté sausage until cooked through, breaking up with back of spoon, about 6 minutes per batch. Using slotted spoon, transfer sausage to bowl, leaving drippings in pot. Reduce heat to medium; add onion to pot and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add prosciutto and sauté 1 minute. Mix in garlic and crushed red pepper. Add escarole and sauté until wilted, about 2 minutes. Add wine and cook 2 minutes. Add beans, stock and sausage and simmer 10 minutes to blend flavors. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to large bowl. Top with grated Parmesan, if desired.

Steps:

• Heat a large nonstick skillet with high sides over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray.
• If you prefer crumbled sausage, remove casings. Add sausage and onion to pan, and cook 4 minutes or until sausage browns, stirring to crumble.
• If you prefer sausage slices, cook whole sausages in a little water until almost firm. Slice sausages and return to pan with onion and cook until onion is lightly browned and no pink remains in sausage.
• Stir in potatoes, wine, garlic, beans and chicken broth; return to simmer. Cover and cook 7 minutes.
• Stir in escarole and rosemary, and cook for 4 minutes or until the escarole wilts, stirring occasionally.
• Ladle 1 1/4 cups soup into each of 4 shallow bowls, and sprinkle each serving evenly with 1 1/2 teaspoons cheese.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet and brown the sausage for about 7-10 minutes, stirring constantly.
• Add garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until the garlic softens.
• Add escarole and cook until wilted (2 minutes).
• Add beans and cook for a minute.
• Add the stock and bring to a slow boil.
• Stir in the butter, cheese, tomatoes, and half of the parsley and cook until heated through and the butter is all melted.
• Season with salt and pepper.
