Italian Sausage Beans and Greens | Food Wishes

Hello, this is Chef John from foodwishes.com with Italian sausage, beans, and greens.

That's right, beans and greens is my favorite Italian recipe that does not involve pasta. And what I'm about to share is my favorite version of beans and greens. So, basically, this recipe just isn't one of my favorites. It's one of my favorite favorites. And to get started, we'll transfer a couple mild Italian sausages into a pan. set over mediumigh heat in which we've drizzled just a touch of olive oil.

And before these start cooking, we're going to do

something we almost never do, which is take a knife and give these the old poka poka, which is going to allow some of the fat and juices to leak out into the pan, which is going to make the other ingredients we cook in this pan even more flavorful.

And what we'll do is cook these sausage for about five or six minutes per side or until we get some nice browning on the surface, as well as our sausage is going to be pretty much cooked through. And by the way, once

these get sizzling, feel free to reduce the heat down to medium if you want so the pan doesn't get too too hot. And what we'll do once those sausage are cooked on both sides is remove them to a plate where we will allow them to cool to room temp before we pop them in the fridge until we need them. And then we'll go ahead and transfer a diced onion into it is now a very flavorful pan along with a nice big pinch of salt.

And over mediumigh heat, we will cook these stirring until not only do they start to turn translucent, but until they start to take out some color and turn a little bit golden brown or even dark brown in some spots. And yes, some of the color the onions are picking up.
