2 tablespoons cooking oil

1/4 pound mild or hot sausages, casings removed

3 1/3 cups canned diced tomatoes with their juice (two 15-ounce cans)

Ingredients.

In a Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over moderate heat. Add the sausage and cook.

Break the meat up with a fork, until it loses its pink color, about 2 minutes.

Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the pan and then stir in the onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions start to soften, about 3 minutes.

Add the garlic and kale to the pan.

Cook, stirring, until the kale wilts, about 2 minutes.

Stir in the tomatoes, salt, and pepper; bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the kale is tender, about 15 minutes.

Stir the beans into the stew and cook until warmed through, about 5 minutes. If you like, mash some of the beans with a fork to thicken the sauce.
