A filling one-pan stew of browned sausages, creamy white beans, tomatoes and kale.
Browned sausages simmered with soft white beans, smoky paprika and a handful of greens, all in one pan: this is honest weeknight cooking. It costs very little, comes together in about half an hour and leaves you with a single pot to scrub. A few thick slices of bread to mop the sauce and you are done.

Preparation
- Heat the oil in a large deep frying pan and brown the sausages all over, then lift them out and slice into chunks.
- Using the same pan, soften the chopped onion for 5 minutes, then stir in the garlic and smoked paprika and cook for a minute.
- Return the sausages along with the chopped tomatoes, drained beans and stock. Simmer for 12 to 15 minutes, until the sauce has thickened and the sausages are cooked through.
- Stir in the kale and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until it wilts down.
- Taste and season, then serve with crusty bread.
Tips from the ZestyPlate Kitchen
- Get a proper colour on the sausages first. The browned bits left in the pan carry flavour through the whole dish.
- Decent butcher's sausages make a real difference and tend to hold their shape better in the sauce.
- Crush a few of the beans against the side of the pan to thicken the sauce without anything extra.
- Kale is easily swapped for spinach, cavolo nero or chard, whatever greens are in the fridge.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, it reheats really well and tastes even better the next day. Add a splash of stock when warming it through if it has thickened.
Of course. Use good veggie sausages and vegetable stock, and brown them gently so they stay together.
Cannellini or butter beans are lovely and creamy, but any white bean will do. Drain and rinse them before they go in.
