SAUSAGE AND WHITE BEAN STEW (WEIGHT WATCHERS)



Sausage and White Bean Stew (Weight Watchers) image

This is the first Weight Watchers recipe I've used, and, boy, am I glad I did! The stew is SO tasty and easy. Even better, the recipe can be modified according to what you have on hand. For instance, I used spinach instead of broccoli rabe and a small white onion since in the place of the red, and instead of the Italian sausage, I used kielbasa. I also added lots of red pepper flakes and some cayenne, too. So have fun with this recipe! I can hardly wait to hear what you think of it.

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 lb Italian turkey sausage, casing removed
1 red onion, minced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried basil leaves, crumbled
salt, to taste (use seasoned salt if you like)
black pepper, to taste
1 bunch spinach or 1 bunch kale
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 (15 ounce) can white beans, drained and rinsed
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese (optional)

Steps:

  • In a stockpot or large nonstick skillet, heat the oil.
  • Crumble the sausage into the skillet, and cook, breaking apart with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 8 minutes. (NOTE: If you're using kielbasa, just saute briefly until it browns).
  • Add the onion, garlic, basil, salt, and pepper, stirring as needed, until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
  • Stir in the broccoli rabe, tomatoes and beans; cook until the broccoli rabe is wilted, about five minutes. (If you're using fresh spinach, it will wilt! I promise.
  • Just cover it with the bean and sausage mixture and let it cook for about 5 minutes).
  • Top with cheese if desired and serve.

HERBED WHITE BEAN AND SAUSAGE STEW



Herbed White Bean and Sausage Stew image

Here's a meaty, cold-weather stew laden with white beans, sweet Italian sausage, rosemary, thyme, cumin and garlic. It is deeply flavored and complex, but quite easy to make. Pan-fry the sausages in a bit of olive oil, then sauté the vegetables with cumin and tomato paste in the drippings. Add plenty of water and the dried beans that, wait for it, you did not have to soak. Simmer until the house is fragrant and the windows fog up (about 2 hours).

Time 9h45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 ½ cups dry cannellini beans
4 (6 ounce) Italian sausage links with garlic and fennel
1 cup chopped yellow onion
⅓ cup dry white wine
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 bay leaf
6 cups water, or to taste
1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
4 cups chopped kale
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, or to taste
6 tablespoons grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, or to taste
6 pinches red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Soak beans in cold water, 8 hours to overnight.
  • Drain beans and set aside.
  • Make a cut down the center of each sausage and peel off the casing. Transfer sausage into a dry soup pot over medium-high heat. Brown sausage, while breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon, 5 to 7 minutes. Cook and stir until juices start to caramelize and stick to the bottom of the pan, creating a fond, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Add onion and stir to coat in the rendered sausage fat. Cook until onion starts to turn translucent, about 5 minutes. Add white wine to deglaze the pot. Add black pepper, red pepper flakes, bay leaf, and water.
  • Add drained beans, increase heat to high, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 30 minutes. Add salt and continue to simmer until beans are tender, about 30 more minutes. Taste beans to be certain they are perfectly cooked.
  • Smash about 1/4 of the beans with a potato masher to give the stew a creamy texture if desired. Stir in chopped kale, increase heat to medium, and cook until tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Taste and adjust salt.
  • Ladle hot soup into bowls, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and a pinch of red pepper flakes.
