Easy to make and loaded with robust flavor. If available, red potatoes add a colorful touch, but
any potatoes will work. Since the sausage may be quite salty, don't add additional salt until
cooking is completed.
 
Directions
  • Heat oil in large skillet or saucepan and cook sausage (medium heat) until it begins to
    brown, about 5 minutes. Spoon off all but about 1 tablespoon of fat and add onion and garlic.
    Cook until onion softens, about 5 minutes.
  • While onions cook, rinse kale, strip greens from
    center stems and chop coarsely.
  • Add water, wine, black pepper and cayenne pepper to the
    skillet; stir in.
  • Add potatoes and kale, stirring occasionally as the kale wilts. Cover and
    adjust heat to maintain a simmer.
  • Cook until potatoes and kale are tender, 15 - 20 minutes
    ( may take longer if potatoes are large or kale is old). Taste for seasoning; add salt if
    necessary.
  • Serve hot.
