Sausage Kale Hash Recipes

SAUSAGE HASH

Steps:

• In a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Add the onion, carrots and green pepper; cook until tender. Stir in the potatoes, salt and pepper. Reduce heat; cook and stir until lightly browned and heated through, about 20 minutes.

BOERENKOOL STAMPPOT (KALE HASH)

Steps:

• Peel and dice potatoes and onions.
• Clean, trim and slice kale.
• Add the potatoes, onion, kale, a bay leaf, a pinch of salt and just enough water to cover all in a 3 qrt pan.
• Cover and boil gently for about 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile steam the smoked sausage for the same amount of time and slice.
• Remove the bay leaf, drain the vegetables, and mash them.
• Add milk and butter.
• Stir in the hot, sliced smoked sausage, add salt and pepper to taste and serve.

KALE AND BACON HASH BROWN CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with the butter.
• In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium-low until crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels and set aside. When cool enough to handle, roughly chop bacon.
• Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease from the pan. Heat the skillet over medium, add the onion, and sauté until soft and lightly browned, 2 to 4 minutes. Add the kale and garlic and sauté until the garlic is tender and fragrant, another minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the chopped bacon.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk and mustard. Add 1/2 cup mozzarella, 1/2 cup Gruyère, the hash browns, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper; stir to combine.
• Stir the kale mixture into the eggs, then pour into the buttered dish. Top evenly with the remaining mozzarella and Gruyère. Cover with foil.
• Bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake, uncovered, until the top is lightly browned and bubbly, another 15 minutes. Serve hot. (Cooled casserole will keep, covered, in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days.)
