Sunday Dinner vol. 1

I am Italian, but really the most Italian thing about me is my passion for cooking and eating.

Hopefully every Sunday, I will have an installment of 'Sunday Dinner.' All good Italians cook a hearty Sunday meal, and I am no different.

Tonight was Turkey Sausage Stew.

2 cloves of crushed garlic
4 tbl of EVOO
A head of cabbage chopped
4 turkey sausages with casing removed
1 12 oz. can of low sodium chicken broth
12 oz. of water
1 12 oz. can of tomato paste
2 15 oz can of cannellini beans
1/2 cup of fresh parsley
Sprinkles of pepper, oregano and red pepper flakes

Cook the sausage until no longer pink. Heat the oil and add the garlic. Saute for a little bit and then add in cabbage and cook for 2 minutes. Add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer, then add the beans and parsley. (1 can rinsed, 1 can without rinsing), add the sausage and a can of water (use can from one of the bean cans). Cook in a simmer for 20 minutes. Then add the can of tomato paste (not the entire can but the majority) and cook for another 20 minutes. Let settle for 5-10 minutes and serve.

This is great to have the night you cook, refrigerate a portion and then freeze the rest for another meal. But it will serve at least 4 people for sure.

Great ingredients too with healthy benefits:
Cannellini beans
