This is a wee bit different from the other recipes here in Zaar. The prep time does not include the soaking of the beans.
Ingredients:
1 lb kale
1/3 lb dried small white beans, soaked in water overnight and drained
1/2 cup olive oil
3 medium onions, peeled and thinly sliced
3 quarts chicken stock
1/2 lb linguica sausage (portuguese sausage)
1/2 lb potato, peeled and grated
salt and pepper
Directions:
1. Remove the large ribs of the kale and slice the leaves into very thin strips, as thin as possible.
2. Place in a bowl of cold water for 1 hour. Drain well.
3. In a 8 qt soup pot, saute the onions in the olive oil.
4. Add the kale, chicken stock and remaining ingredients, including the drained beans.
5. Simmer for 1 1/2 hours, covered.
6. Taste for salt and pepper before serving.
