Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound sausage (Italian or breakfast sausage) Choose halal options.
  • 1 bunch kale, chopped
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 cup chicken broth (optional, for more flavor)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by gathering all ingredients and prepping them. Chop the kale, dice the onion, and mince the garlic.
Cooking
  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until browned and crispy, around 7-10 minutes, breaking the sausage into smaller pieces as it cooks.
  2. Once the sausage is cooked through, add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Stir well and cook for another 3-5 minutes until the onion is translucent.
  3. Gradually mix in the chopped kale, stirring until it’s wilted and bright green, which should take about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Sprinkle salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes over the mix. Optionally, add the chicken broth and let it simmer for a couple more minutes.
Serving
  1. Plate your Sausage and Kale Skillet and enjoy it hot, perhaps with some crusty bread on the side to soak up those delicious juices.

Notes

If you’re not a fan of kale, consider using spinach or Swiss chard. For the sausage, a leaner option like chicken or turkey sausage can be used. Timing is important; allow the sausage to brown for extra flavor and be careful not to overcook the kale.
