Herbed White Bean And Sausage Stew Food

HERBED WHITE BEAN AND SAUSAGE STEW

Steps:

• Dice the sausage links into 1" cylinders. Set Aside.
• Set the Instant Pot to SAUTE & keep it at NORMAL. Add olive oil & when the oil becomes moderately hot throw in the sausages and fry them until golden brown in color. There will be bits sticking at the bottom, don't worry about them, we'll be deglazing the pot later and those bits & crumbs will act as flavor boosters. Once the sausages are done keep them aside.
• In the same pot throw in the onion, garlic, celery, leek & carrots and sauté until just limp or soft. Add salt to quicken the process.
• Once the veggies are soft add the spices + the crushed tomato and give everything a good mix.
• Than, add the soaked and drained great northern beans and mix well so that the beans are all coated well with the rest of the ingredients.
• Pour in the stock and the water and deglaze the pot very well so that there are absolutely no crumbs and bits stuck at the bottom of the pot. This is very important otherwise you might get a BURN message in your Instant Pot.
• Throw in the herbs. CANCEL the SAUTE & press the PRESSURE COOK mode and cook on HIGH for just 6 mins.
• Once, the cooking time is up and the Instant Pot begins to beep wait for Natural Pressure Release (NPR) for about 6 mins and than release the rest of the pressure.
• Open the lid and add the fried sausages and the hot sauce and Balsamic vinegar. If you prefer a little more liquid in your bean stew add some more water or broth. Press the SAUTE mode, keep it on LOW & simmer a few mins. Serve hot with more hot sauce.

HERBED WHITE BEAN AND SAUSAGE STEW

Steps:

• 1. Heat the oil in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and brown until cooked through, about 7 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a plate lined with a paper towel. 2. Add the tomato paste and cumin to the pot. Cook, stirring, until dark golden, about 2 minutes. Add the carrots, celery, onion and garlic. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables have softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the beans, 8 cups water, salt, thyme, rosemary and bay leaf. Turn the heat up to high and bring to a boil. Then reduce heat to low and simmer gently until the beans are tender, about 2 hours, adding more water if needed to make sure the beans remain submerged. 3. When the beans are tender, return the sausage to the pot. Simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in the vinegar and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning. Ladle into warm bowls and serve drizzled with additional vinegar and olive oil. (Slow cooker - about half the liquid and 5.5 hours on low)

Add the carrots, fennel, onion, 2 tablespoons water, 1/2 tablespoon thyme and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften, 15 minutes.
• Preheat the broiler. Combine the panko with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 tablespoon thyme and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper; set aside. Return the sausage to the skillet along with the beans and their liquid, the tomatoes and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and gently simmer until the liquid is slightly reduced, about 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Spread the onions over the bottom of a 5 1/2- to 6-quart slow cooker and top with the carrots, garlic, white beans, thyme bundle and sausage links. Mix the diced tomatoes with the broth and 3 cups water and pour over the sausages. Add the Parmesan rind if using.
• Cook on high for 4 to 5 hours or on low for 7 to 8 hours; the beans will be tender and begin to fall apart.
• Uncover the slow cooker, remove and discard the thyme bundle and Parmesan rind and transfer the sausage links to a cutting board. Stir the pasta into the stew and continue to cook, covered, until the pasta is cooked through, about 20 minutes.
• Turn off the heat. Cut the sausages into bite-size pieces and stir into the stew along with the parsley and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with grated Parmesan on the side for sprinkling on top and crusty bread for soaking up the broth.
