Sausage And Greens Recipes

LINGUINE WITH HILLSHIRE FARM® SMOKED SAUSAGE AND GREENS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together egg yolks, milk, 1/2 cup cheese, lemon zest, and black pepper. Set aside.
• In a 4-quart Dutch oven, cook linguine in a large amount of boiling salted water according to package directions, about 11 minutes. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup of the cooking water. Return linguine to Dutch oven.
• Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook sausage over medium heat for 5 minutes or until browned, adding garlic in the last minute of cooking.
• Pour egg yolk mixture over linguine in Dutch oven. Add sausage and spinach; toss to coat. The heat from the pan and the linguine cooks and thickens the egg yolk, making a silky sauce. If needed, stir in enough reserved pasta cooking water to reach desired consistency. Toss with parsley.
• Serve immediately. Sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese, if desired.

PENNE WITH SAUSAGE AND GREENS

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the penne and cook as the label directs. Reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking water, then drain the pasta.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the collard greens, garlic, pepper flakes and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the greens are wilted, about 3 minutes.
• Add the pasta, lemon zest, and half of the reserved pasta water to the skillet and toss. If needed, add more of the pasta water and toss again. Serve topped with Parmesan.

SAUSAGE AND GREENS SHEET-PAN DINNER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F. Toss potatoes, 2 Tbsp. oil, 1 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper on an 18x13" rimmed baking sheet. Prick sausages all over with a sharp knife, then nestle among potatoes. Roast, turning sausage and tossing potatoes halfway through, until potatoes are lightly browned and just barely fork-tender and sausage is just cooked through, 12-14 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk vinegar, mustard, honey, and remaining 6 Tbsp. olive oil, 3/4 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper in a large bowl. Pour about 1/4 cup dressing into a small bowl or pitcher and reserve for serving. Toss greens in remaining (about 2 Tbsp.) dressing, using your hands to massage dressing evenly into leaves.
• Scatter dressed leaves in an even layer over sausage and potatoes. Roast, tossing greens halfway through, until greens are tender and charred in places, 3-5 minutes.
• Separate sausage, potatoes, and greens into sections to serve, if desired, or toss all together. Serve with reserved dressing alongside.

COLLARD GREENS WITH SAUSAGE AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Wash collard greens, taking care to remove all grit. Remove and discard hard stems. Roll up greens in small bunches; cut crosswise into thin strips.
• Heat dressing in Dutch oven or small stockpot on medium heat. Add sausage, onions, garlic and crushed pepper; stir. Cook 4 to 5 min. or until onions are crisp-tender, stirring frequently.
• Stir in broth. Add collard greens; stir. Simmer on medium-low heat 25 to 30 min. or until greens are tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in vinegar; cook 5 min., stirring occasionally.

SOUTHERN TURNIP GREENS WITH SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Cook sausage in a skillet or frying pan over medium heat, rotating every 3 minutes, until nearly cooked through, about 10 minutes. Drain most of the juice, leaving a layer of juices in the skillet.
• Stir butter and olive oil into sausage; add turnip greens and garlic. Cook greens mixture over high heat, stirring every 5 minutes, until wilted and sausage is cooked through, about 15 minutes. Season greens mixture with salt and pepper and continue cooking over medium-low heat for 10 minutes more.

SAUSAGE, GREEN BEANS AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients and place in 3 quart crock pot or a pan on top of the stove. Cook in crock pot on low for 5 to 6 hours or high for 4 hours or until the potatoes are done.

ITALIAN SAUSAGE AND MUSTARD GREENS

Steps:

• * Chop the mustard greens, rinse thorougly and set aside. * Brown Italian Sausage in a large fry pan on medium high. Keep turning the sausage so that they have a nice, brownish color. Don't worry that they are not cooking all the way through because they will cook some more in the next few steps. * With the pan still hot and the sausage browned, just dump the greens on top of the sausage. They will probably fill up the pan, but just start pushing them down and around. They will start to reduce immediately. If you want to add garlic do it after the sausage is browned and before you add the greens. Just toss the garlic in for about 30 seconds before the greens are added. * Now pour about a cup (start with a 1/2 cup) of water into the pan (it should sizzle as it starts to pick up all the flavors at the bottom of the pan). * Now cover the pan and reduce the heat. * Cook for about 20 minutes until the sausages are cooked thoroughly and the greens have softened and picked up the flavors and juices in the pan. If you want to make sure the greens are cooked only slightly, just cook the sausage longer before you add the greens. * While everything's still steeping hot, sprinkle lemon and the Parmesan cheese over the top.
