Remembering Summer

The grill is inside for the snowy New Hampshire winter, but I can still taste the juicy burgers and sweet corn on the cob.

EBK hard at work-

The tastiest kale recipe you will ever make-

Turkey Sausages with Kale and Chickpeas 

Ingredients:

1/2 tablespoon Extra-virgin olive oil

1/2 pound Reduced-fat sweet or hot Italian turkey sausages

1/2 Small onion, diced

11/2 Garlic cloves, minced

3/4 cup Lower-sodium chicken broth

1/2 (1-pound) bunch Kale, stemmed and roughly chopped (3 to 31/2 cups)

1/2 (15-ounce) can Chickpeas, rinsed and drained

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Preparation:

1. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add sausages and cook until browned on all sides, turning occasionally, 6 minutes. Remove from pan and cut each sausage in half on the diagonal.

2. Add onion and garlic to the same saucepan and cook over medium heat until softened and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add broth and bring to a simmer. Add kale, cover, and cook until wilted and softened, about 8 minutes.

3. Add sausages and cook, covered, until no longer pink in the center, about 8 minutes. Add chickpeas and continue cooking, covered, until heated through, 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve hot, spooning any remaining cooking liquid on top.
