*VENDOR SPOTLIGHT*
KATHY’S CHURPERS
”Kathy” was a long time customer of the the Market before she started raising chickens for her family’s healthy clean eating eggs. Apparently she is a natural because her chickens rewarded her efforts handsomely and she now shares the abundance with the rest of us! Kathy’s happy cage free feathered ladies are located in Henry County Alabama. All chickens are cage free, antibiotic free and added hormone free.

Farm to Table Recipes

KALE WITH SAUSAGE & WHITE BEANS


Curly kale is shown for this recipe, but you could use any kale, as well as chard, turnip greens, beet greens, or collards. A splash of vinegar (sherry, red wine, cider) is a nice touch right at the end of cooking. Cajun type seasoning also works well with this when using regular sausage.

1 Tablespoon olive oil
1/2 lb bulk sweet Italian Sausage or other sausage (use gluten free sausage if cooking gluten free)
1 onion sliced thin (about 1 ½ cup sliced onion
2 large garlic cloves sliced thin
1 pound kale (1 large bunch), center thick rib removed, leaves roughly chopped
1/2 cup chicken or vegetable stock
1 15 oz. Can of white beans, rinsed and drained
salt and pepper
1. Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan or wok over medium-high heat and add the sliced onions. Caramalize onions, pour into dish and set aside. Add bulk sausage. If you can’t find bulk sausage, slice the sausage into bite size chunks. Cook till done and add to bowl with onions. Add the garlic, cook for another minute and add to onions and sausage.


2. Add kale to the pan or wok. Sprinkle salt over everything, then add the stock. Cover the pan, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium, partially cover with a lid and cook for 2 minutes.


3. Uncover, add onion, sausage and garlic to the kale. Mix everything well (the kale will have cooked down by now) and add the beans. Cover the pot again and lower the heat to low. Cook another 5 minutes, then turn off the heat. Let stand 5 minutes, then serve.
