TURKEY SAUSAGES WITH SPICY BEANS

Steps:

• Heat a large high-sided saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil to heat. Once hot, add the sausages and brown on all sides, for about 8 minutes total. Remove the sausages from the pan to plate and reserve. Add the garlic, and saute until golden and brown. With a wooden spoon, stir in the chopped tomatoes and red peppers and season with salt and pepper. Lower the flame, and cover the pan with a lid, simmer for 10 minutes, until the tomatoes have broken down and thickened to a sauce-like consistency. Add the browned sausages (and any juice left on the plate), beans, and bay leaves to the thickened tomatoes. Stir well and simmer for another 10 minutes. Add the chopped parsley before serving.

Steps:

• Place the dried beans in a large saucepan, cover with water, bring to a boil and simmer for about 45 minutes or until the beans are tender, skimming off the scum as needed.
• Drain the beans and reserve the cooking liquid.
• Heat 1/3 cup of the oil in a flameproof casserole or heavy-based saucepan.
• Add the sausages and cook over medium heat until brown on all sides.
• Add the tomatoes, garlic, sage, salt and pepper to taste, and stir well to mix.
• Bring to a boil, then add the beans and a few spoonfuls of the cooking liquid.
• Cover and simmer, stirring frequently, for 15 minutes- the consistency should be quite thick.
• Adjust the seasoning to taste.
• Just before serving, drizzle the remaining 1/3 cup olive oil over the dish and garnish with sage leaves.
• My notes: I substituted Coco Blanc fresh shell beans for the Cannellini; It took only~25 minutes for the beans I used to become tender; I merely chopped and drained the tomatoes; I used Hot Italian sausage; I added red pepper flakes; And I used 4 cloves garlic.
