Hearty Kale, Potato, and Sausage Stew

1. Cook Sausage

Place the sliced sausage in a large pot over medium-low heat. Allow it to cook for about 2 minutes until it begins to render its fat.

2. Add Onion

Add the chopped onion to the pot. Let it cook for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally until it becomes translucent and begins to soften.

3. Add Potatoes and Garlic

Add the cubed potatoes and minced garlic. Let these cook for about 2 minutes, stirring to ensure the garlic doesn’t burn and the potatoes get a slight sear.

4. Add Kale

Toss in the coarsely chopped kale and cook it while stirring constantly for about 2 minutes. The kale will begin to wilt and mix with the other ingredients.

5. Add Broth, Vinegar, and Salt

Pour in the chicken broth, balsamic vinegar, and kosher salt. Stir the mixture well and bring it to a boil. Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about an hour.

6. Season with Pepper

Just before adding the tomatoes, season the stew with freshly ground black pepper to taste.

7. Add Tomatoes

Stir in the diced plum tomatoes and let the stew cook uncovered for an additional 15 minutes.

8. Serve

Once everything is cooked to perfection, divide the hearty stew among four bowls and serve hot.
