Collard Greens With Rice And Sausage Recipes

COLLARD GREEN RICE

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the rice and cook, toasting until the rice begins to smell nutty, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the chicken stock and some House Seasoning. Bring it to a boil; cover, reduce the heat to low and cook until the rice is tender and has absorbed all the liquid, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the butter and remaining tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, pepper, garlic and a generous pinch of House Seasoning. Cook until just tender and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the collards and cook until softened, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Once the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed, turn off the heat. Remove the lid and add the onions and collard green mixture. Fluff and stir gently with a fork to combine.
• Stir together the garlic and onion powders, paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Store in an airtight container.

COLLARD GREENS WITH WHITE BEANS AND SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Place beans, onion halves, carrot, thyme and rosemary sprig and bay leaf in a large pot; cover the beans with 1500 ml of water. Crumble in the vegetable cube, cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the flame; simmer about 30 minutes over low heat until the beans are nearly tender. Drain the beans and reserve the cooking liquid. Discard all of the other solids. Set aside.
• Sauté sliced onion and garlic in butter and olive oil for 6 minutes over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally.
• Add the collards and cook, tossing, until slightly wilted.
• Add half of the reserved bean cooking liquid, cover and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the collards are tender, about 50 minutes.
• Add the beans, sausage and the remaining bean cooking liquid to the pot and cook for 15 minutes. Just before serving, stir in the lime zest and juice. Season with pepper.

COLLARD GREENS WITH SAUSAGE AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Wash collard greens, taking care to remove all grit. Remove and discard hard stems. Roll up greens in small bunches; cut crosswise into thin strips.
• Heat dressing in Dutch oven or small stockpot on medium heat. Add sausage, onions, garlic and crushed pepper; stir. Cook 4 to 5 min. or until onions are crisp-tender, stirring frequently.
• Stir in broth. Add collard greens; stir. Simmer on medium-low heat 25 to 30 min. or until greens are tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in vinegar; cook 5 min., stirring occasionally.

SAUSAGE, PASTA, AND COLLARD GREEN SOUP

Steps:

• Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Squeeze sausage out of the casings into the hot pan. Cook, breaking sausage up with a wooden spoon, until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain.
• Bring chicken stock to a boil in a large pot. Add sausage, cannellini beans, collard greens, and pasta to the boiling stock. Cook until pasta is tender yet firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes.
