Sausage Beans & Greens

Sausage Beans & Greens

This is one of my favorite comforting meals that is easy to make and can be enjoyed any day of the week and in any season! It uses just a few simple ingredients and is packed with plant protein with the combination of vegan sausage and beans. It’s my favorite kind of meal which is one that’s made in just one pan. Give it a try and feel free to mix up the types of beans and greens.

Ingredients

4 vegan Sausages (400g)
1 medium Onion cut root to stem
32 oz (908g) Large Butter Beans, rinsed
4 cloves Garlic, minced
2 tsp (10ml) Neutral High Heat Oil  
1 tsp (5g) Red Chili Flakes (optional) 
1 Tbsp (15g) Miso Paste 
1/2 cup (118ml) Vegan Beef or Vegetable Broth 
5 oz (140g) Mixed Baby Greens  
Salt & Pepper to taste  

Serve with grated vegan parmesan and fresh micro greens

Directions

1.Slice the sausages into 4-5 pieces on the diagonal and sauté them on medium high heat until all sides are nicely browned. Remove them from the pan and set aside.  

2.Heat the oil in the same pan on medium heat. Add the sliced onions and red  chili flakes and sauté until almost translucent, about 5-6 minutes.

3.Add in the garlic and continue cooking for another 2 minutes or until the garlic  is fragrant. Deglaze the pan with the broth and scrape up any bits leftover from  cooking the sausage.  

4.Add in the miso paste and stir until completely dissolved. Add in the beans  and continue cooking for 5 minutes before adding in the greens. Mix well and  then cover the pan to help wilt the greens and continue cooking for another 5-7  minutes.  

5.Add the cooked sausage back to the pan, nestling them within the greens and  beans and heat through before serving.
