Sausage & Bean Stew


This is a most delicious dinner inspired by a recipe by Real Simple. The peppers and eggplant are entirely optional but add delicious flavor and hearty texture to this awesome winter stew. It's quick and easy, too; it's ready in 30 minutes, or you can make ahead of time and simmer longer for added flavor.

2 Tbsp coconut oil
4 organic chicken sausages, sliced
2 green bell peppers, chopped
1 medium eggplant, chopped
3 cloves garlic, sliced
1 quart low sodium chicken broth
1 28-oz can spicy diced tomatoes
1 can cannelloni beans

1. Saute sausages in coconut oil for about 3-4 minutes.
2. Add peppers and eggplant, and saute for another 3-4 minutes.
3. Add garlic and saute for 1-2 minutes.
4. Add broth, tomatoes, and beans, and bring to a boil. Simmer 20 minutes to 4 hours.
5. Turn off heat and mix in kale 5 minutes before serving.
