Tim's Tuesday

This was my New Year's meal this year.  A little taste of Spain.  Only semi-paleo due to the beans and the wine - the wine mostly cooks out and beans are kinda one of my lee-way food items.  You could try replacing the beans with other stew veggies like carrot and sweet potato.  Enjoy!

Catalan Stew

Ingredients
3 tablespoons olive oil
1-1 1/2 pounds of Italian sausages
1 cup chopped onion
2 ounces chopped prosciutto
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
1 large head escarole or endive, chopped
3/4 cup dry white wine
4 15-ounce cans Great Northern beans, rinsed, drained
1 cup chicken broth

Cooking
Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Sauté sausage until cooked
through, breaking up with back of spoon. Reduce heat to medium; add onion, red pepper and garlic to pot and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add prosciutto and sauté 1 minute.  Add wine and cook 2 minutes. Add beans and stock and simmer 10 minutes to blend flavors. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to large bowl. Top with chopped greens and let wilt.  Enjoy!
